Answer 1

I created a new AutomapperProfile class. It extends Profile. We have over 100 projects in our solution. Many projects have an AutomapperProfile class, but this one was new to this existing project. However, I did find what I had to do to fix this issue for us. There is a Binding project. Within the Initialization there is this code:

var mappingConfig = new List>();

// Initialize the Automapper Configuration for all Known Assemblies
mappingConfig.AddRange( new List>
{
   ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType,
   //...

I had to add ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType<MyNewNamespace.AutomapperProfile>

Note that ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType looks like this:

    private static void ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType( IConfiguration configuration )
    {
        var log = LogProvider.Get( typeof (AutomapperConfiguration) );

        // The Automapper Profile Type
        var automapperProfileType = typeof (Profile);

        // The Assembly containing the type
        var assembly = typeof (T).Assembly;
        log.Debug( "Scanning " + assembly.FullName );

        // Configure any Profile classes found in the assembly containing the type.
        assembly.GetTypes()
            .Where( automapperProfileType.IsAssignableFrom ).ToList()
            .ForEach( x =>
            {
                log.Debug( "Adding Profile '" + x.FullName + "'" );
                configuration.AddProfile( Activator.CreateInstance( x ) as Profile );
            } );
    }
