automapper

The project I'm working on has a large number of currency properties in the domain model and I'm needing for format these as $#,###.## for transmitting to and from the view. I've had a view thoughts as to different approaches which could be used. One approach could be to format the values explicitly inside the view, as in "Pattern 1" from Steve Michelotti : ...but this starts violating DRY principle very quickly. The preferred approach appears to be to do the formatting during the mapping between DomainModel and a ViewModel (as per ASP.NET MVC in Action section 4.4.1 and "Pattern 3" ). Using

I am having trouble injecting AutoMapper into an ASP.NET MVC 2 application using Ninject. I used Jimmy Bogard's post on AutoMapper and StructureMap type Configuration as a guide. public class AutoMapperModule : NinjectModule { public override void Load() { Bind<ITypeMapFactory>().To<TypeMapFactory>(); Bind<Configuration>().ToSelf().InSingletonScope().WithConstructorArgument("mapper", MapperRegistry.AllMappers); Bind<IConfiguration>().To<Configuration>(); Bind<IConfigurationProvider>().To<Configuration>(); Bind<IMappingEngine>().To<MappingEngine>(); } } Ninject throws an exception when

I have been working on injecting AutoMapper into controllers. I like the implementation of Code Camp Server. It creates a wrapper around AutoMapper's IMappingEngine. The dependency injection is done using StructureMap. But I need to use Castle Windsor for my project. So, how do we implement the following dependency injection and set-up using Windsor? I am not looking for line-by-line equivalent implementation in Castle Windsor. If you want to do that, please feel free. Instead, what is Windsor equivalent of StructureMap's Registry and Profile? I need Profile to define CreateMap<> like the

Enum definition is public enum RowStatusEnum { Modified = 1, Removed = 2, Added = 3 } public class RowStatusEnumConvertor : IMapperConfigurator { public void Cofigure() { Mapper.CreateMap<RowStatusEnum, byte>(); Mapper.CreateMap<byte, RowStatusEnum >(); } } I config autoMapper with Implemention IMapperConfigurator in RowStatusEnumConvertor class, but not work this code and not map this type, i think my config not correct or not enough, please help me thanks I have reproduced your problem. The solution is pretty simple, don't configure AutoMapper and set the base type of the enum to byte. Like

Setup I have an AutoMapperConfiguration static class that sets up the AutoMapper mappings: static class AutoMapperConfiguration() { internal static void SetupMappings() { Mapper.CreateMap<long, Category>.ConvertUsing<IdToEntityConverter<Category>>(); } } where IdToEntityConverter<T> is a custom ITypeConverter that looks like this: class IdToEntityConverter<T> : ITypeConverter<long, T> where T : Entity { private readonly IRepository _repo; public IdToEntityConverter(IRepository repo) { _repo = repo; } public T Convert(ResolutionContext context) { return _repo.GetSingle<T>(context.SourceValue);
