Automapper: bidirectional mapping with ReverseMap() and ForMember()

Question

I have the case where I want to map an entity to a viewmodel and back. I have to specify the mapping explicitly with ForMember() because their properties do not

Answer 1

You could define your configuration like this:

Mapper.CreateMap()
    .ForMember(dst => dst.PartInteger, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Integer));

Mapper.CreateMap()
    .ForMember(dst => dst.Integer, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.PartInteger));

UPDATE

Here is the commit where ReverseMap was initially implemented. From what I can see in the code, it only creates a simple reverse mapping. For example, in this case it would automatically configure the equivalent of:

Mapper.CreateMap();

To get anything more complex, I'm afraid that you're going to have to configure it manually.
