automapper

I need to map some values from a class to an array. For example: public class Employee { public string name; public int age; public int cars; } must be converted to [age, cars] I tried with this var employee = new Employee() { name = "test", age = 20, cars = 1 }; int[] array = new int[] {}; Mapper.CreateMap<Employee, int[]>() .ForMember(x => x, options => { options.MapFrom(source => new[] { source.age, source.cars }); } ); Mapper.Map(employee, array); but i get this error: Using mapping configuration for Employee to System.Int32[] Exception of type 'AutoMapper.AutoMapperMappingException' was

I'm trying to use AutoMapper to take data from a class that has prefixes before property names and map it to a second class that doesn't have those prefixes. However, I don't necessarily want it to always strip out that prefix: I just want it to do it for this particular mapping. My source class looks like this: public class AdvancedSearchFilterDataModel { // .... public string ServiceMeterNumber { get; set; } // .... } My destination class looks like this: [DataContract] public class ServicesAdvancedSearchFilterData : AdvancedSearchFilterData { // .... [DataMember] public string MeterNumber {

Here's the deal: I have a report designer where users can create reports based on some predefined datasets. They can select a set of columns to include in the report and then, when the report is ran, an IList is created by mapping the NHibernate collection over to the dto class collection using automapper. The problem with this is that the DTO collection has a load of redundant columns in as it will be populated with all the data regardless of whether or not it's needed. My solution to this? Why not create a DTO type at runtime, using the information we have and map the nhibernate collection

I am developing an MVC 3 application and am using AutoMapper to move data between my ViewModels and my entities. I have a scenario where I need to move data between two lists. For some strange reason, AutoMapper seems to only copy the first object from the source object and then seems to copy the same object n times over to the destination list. For example, say you have 2 lists, source contains six entity items and destination contains 0 items as it was just instantiated. The item at position source[0] get copied over to the destination and then source[0] is copied repeatedly for the same

I am currently using a datareader as the source but I want to instead use a dataset. //datareader AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap<IDataReader, AccountDTO>() .ForMember(m => m.AccountId, opt => opt.MapFrom (r => r.GetInt32(r.GetOrdinal("AccountId")))) .ForMember(m => m.ParentAccountId, opt => opt.MapFrom(r => r.GetInt32(r.GetOrdinal("ParentAccountId")))) .ForMember(m => m.IsInactive, opt => opt.MapFrom(r => r.GetString(r.GetOrdinal("IsInactive")))) .ForMember(m => m.AccountName, opt => opt.MapFrom(r => r.GetString(r.GetOrdinal("AccountName")))) //dataset AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap<DataSet,

I have a self referencing model that I would like to convert to a flat list. The model looks like this. public class Node { public List<Node> Nodes { get; set; } public Person Person { get; set; } public Language Language { get; set; } } public class NodeDTO { public PersonDTO Person { get; set; } public LanguageDTO Language { get; set; } } public class NodeListDTO { public List<NodeDTO> Nodes { get; set; } } I want all nodes in the hierarchy to be flattend to one single list in my DTO object. Is this possible with Auto Mapper. I have tried to use a Custom Value resolver but I haven't figured
