AutoMapper Map If Not Null, Otherwise Custom Convert

Question

Here\'s my code:

Mapper.CreateMap()
   .ForMember(dest => dest.Bar, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Bar == null ? new BarViewModel() : sr         


        

Answer 1

I don't get a compiler error for the following:

public class Foo
{
    public Bar Bar { get; set; }
}

public class Foo2
{
    public Bar Bar { get; set; }
}

public class Bar
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public Bar()
    {
        Id = 3;
    }
}

CreateMap()
    .ForMember(
        dest => dest.Bar,
        opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Bar == null ? new Bar() : src.Bar));

...so I'm wondering if the problem is not actually with your mapping?
