How to handle custom Properties in AutoMapper

Question

I\'ve got a ViewModel that takes some Model data and slightly alters it.

The way I\'m doing it \"works\" since I just pass the DomainModel to the constr

Custom mapping can be defined in global.ascx (at startup) by following codes :

      AutoMapper.Mapper.CreateMap()
          .ForMember(o => o.Email, b => b.MapFrom(z => z.Email))
          .ForMember(o => o.UserName , b => b.MapFrom(user => (user.UserName != null) ? user.UserName : "User" + user.ID.ToString));

you can do some initialization via BeforeMap () method. But you may need to do some changes in your viewmodel.
