automapper

I am working in an ASP.NET MVC 4 application, and have something similar to this for my domain. public class Party { public Cake PartyCake { get; set; } public List<Candles> CakeCandles { get; set; } } I want to map that to the PartyVM which looks like so: public class PartyVM { public string PartyCakeName { get; set; } public int CandlesCount { get; set; } } How can I tell AutoMapper to work out the Count of the list when doing its mappings? I have this, but all this does is tell it to ignore! Mapper.CreateMap<Party, PartyVM>() .ForMember(dest => dest.CandlesCount, opt => opt.Ignore());

Can't use Mapping Inheritance and TypeConverter together. I have this code: /* BaseClassTypeConverter.cs */ public class BaseClassTypeConverter : ITypeConverter<SourceClass, BaseClass> { public BaseClass Convert(ResolutionContext context) { if (context == null || context.IsSourceValueNull) return null; var src = (SourceClass)context.SourceValue; return new BaseClass() { CommonAttr = src.SourceAttr }; } } /* AutoMapperConfig.cs */ public static class AutoMapperConfig { public static void RegisterMappings() { AutoMapper.Mapper.Initialize(config => { config .CreateMap<SourceClass, BaseClass>()

I'm trying to map one complex object to another using instance API: var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => { cfg.CreateMap<Student, PersonType>(); cfg.CreateMap<Professor, PersonType>(); cfg.CreateMap<Branch, BranchType>() .ForMember(x => x.Departments, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => new DepartmentType[] { new DepartmentType { Students = Mapper.Map<Student[], PersonType[]> (src.Students), Professors = Mapper.Map<Professor[], PersonType[]> (src.Professors), Name = src.DepartmentName } })) .ForMember(x => x.Name, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Name)) .ForAllMembers(opts => opts.Condition((src,

So, this is the first time I'm dealing with DI, please correct me if I misunderstood the whole DI thingy. These are few of my projects: Web Application/ Web API Project - Depends on Service Class + inject Automapper (Configuration only applicable for current project) Service (Class Library) - Depends on Data Class + inject Automapper (Configuration only applicable for current project) Data (Class Library) My intention was to have each project having its own DI container (says Unity DI). I'm not sure that each project can have its own DI container. I have read some of the article, showing that

I'm using AutoMapper, and I've registered a TypeConverter to map nullable long values to long values like so: public class NullableLongToLongConverter : TypeConverter<long?, long> { protected override long ConvertCore(long? source) { return source ?? 0; } } This works fine, and automatically picks up any nullable longs being converted to longs. However, I've got some other maps which want to 'convert' nullable longs to nullable longs. These also end up using this type converter. For example, both properties are getting set to 0 in the code below, but I'd expect NullableLong to be set to null.

I'd like to do something like the following and I'm wondering if someone knows how to do it: Mapper.CreateMap<Worksheet, V2WorksheetModel>().If(pWorksheet=> pWorksheet.VisitLevel == 2); Mapper.CreateMap<Worksheet, V3WorksheetModel>().If(pWorksheet=> pWorksheet.VisitLevel == 3); Worksheet entityVisit2 = MyService.GetWorksheetByID(100); //visit level 2 Worksheet entityVisit3 = MyService.GetWorksheetByID(150); //visit level 3 WorksheetModelBase modelBase1 = Mapper.Map(entityVisit2); WorksheetModelBase modelBase2 = Mapper.Map(entityVisit3); Assert.True(modelBase is V2WorksheetModel); Assert.True
