How to scan and auto-configure profiles in AutoMapper?

Question

Is there any way to auto-configue Automapper to scan for all profiles in namespace/assembly? What I would like to do is to add mapping profiles to AutoMapper from given asse

I have it like this, don't know if it is the best way but it works very well on pretty large project.

public class AutoMapperGlobalConfiguration : IGlobalConfiguration
    {
        private AutoMapper.IConfiguration _configuration;

        public AutoMapperGlobalConfiguration(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            _configuration = configuration;
        }

        public void Configure()
        {
            //add all defined profiles
            var query = this.GetType().Assembly.GetExportedTypes()
                .Where(x => x.CanBeCastTo(typeof(AutoMapper.Profile)));

            _configuration.RecognizePostfixes("Id");

            foreach (Type type in query)
            {
                _configuration.AddProfile(ObjectFactory.GetInstance(type).As());
            }

            //create maps for all Id2Entity converters
            MapAllEntities(_configuration);

           Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid();
        }

        private static void MapAllEntities(IProfileExpression configuration)
        {
            //get all types from the SR.Domain assembly and create maps that
            //convert int -> instance of the type using Id2EntityConverter
            var openType = typeof(Id2EntityConverter<>);
            var idType = typeof(int);
            var persistentEntties = typeof(SR.Domain.Policy.Entities.Bid).Assembly.GetTypes()
               .Where(t => typeof(EntityBase).IsAssignableFrom(t))
               .Select(t => new
               {
                   EntityType = t,
                   ConverterType = openType.MakeGenericType(t)
               });
            foreach (var e in persistentEntties)
            {
                var map = configuration.CreateMap(idType, e.EntityType);
                map.ConvertUsing(e.ConverterType);
            }
        }
    }
}
