Question

I have a simple model like this one:

public class Order{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   ... ...
   public IList<OrderLine> OrderLines { get; set; }
}

public class OrderLine{
   public int Id { get; set; }
   public Order ParentOrder { get; set; }
   ... ...
}

What I do with Automapper is this:

    Mapper.CreateMap<Order, OrderDto>();
    Mapper.CreateMap<OrderLine, OrderLineDto>();
    Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid();

It throw an exception that says: "The property OrderLineDtos in OrderDto is not mapped, add custom mapping ..." As we use a custom syntax in our Domain and in our DomainDto, how I can specify that the collection OrderLineDtos in OrderDto corresponds to OrderLines in Order?

Thank you

Answer 1

It works in this way:

    Mapper.CreateMap<Order, OrderDto>()
        .ForMember(dest => dest.OrderLineDtos, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.OrderLines));
    Mapper.CreateMap<OrderLine, OrderLineDto>()
        .ForMember(dest => dest.ParentOrderDto, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.ParentOrder));
    Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid();

Nested collections work, as long as the names match up. In your DTOs, you have the name of your collection as "OrderLineDtos", but in the Order object, it s just "OrderLines". If you remove the "Dtos" part of the OrderLineDtos and ParentOrderDto property names, it should all match up.
