Automapper: map properties manually

Question

I just started to use automapper to map DTOs<->Entities and it seems to be working great.

In some special cases I want to map only some properties and perform additio

Answer 1

If you just want to map only some select property than you have to do as below

// Create a map
var map = CreateMap();
// ingnore all existing binding of property
map.ForAllMembers(opt => opt.Ignore());
// than map property as following
map.ForMember(dest => dest.prop1, opt => opt.MapFrom( src => src.prop1));
map.ForMember(dest => dest.prop2, opt => opt.MapFrom( src => src.prop2));
