Inject parameter into automapper custom ValueResolver using Ninject - asp.net-mvc-5

Question

I'm using automapper library to convert my Model into my ViewModel. For each Model, I create profile which inside i add my maps using CreateMap.
I want to use custom ValueResolver in which it will get the logged user ID from IContext, so i need to pass implementation of IContext using Ninject.
Inside my profile class:
Mapper.CreateMap<ViewModel, BusinessModel>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.ManagerId, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<GetManagerResolver>());
Then my GetManagerResolver:
public class GetManagerResolver : ValueResolver<BusinessModel, int>
{
private IContext context;
public GetManagerResolver(IContext context)
{
this.context = context;
}
protected override int GetManagerResolver(BusinessModel source)
{
return context.UserId;
}
}
But i get this exception message {"Type needs to have a constructor with 0 args or only optional args\r\nParameter name: type"}.
Any Ideas on how make automapper use ninject for object creation?
UPDATE
My code to add automapper configuration:
public static class AutoMapperWebConfiguration
{
public static void Configure()
{
Mapper.Initialize(cfg =>
{
cfg.AddProfile(new Profile1());
cfg.AddProfile(new Profile2());
// now i want to add this line, but how to get access to kernel in static class?
// cfg.ConstructServicesUsing(t => Kernel.Get(t));
});
}
}

Answer 1

You can use the ConstructedBy function to configure how Automapper should create your GetManagerResolver after calling ResolveUsing:
Mapper.CreateMap<ViewModel, BusinessModel>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.ManagerId,
opt => opt.ResolveUsing<GetManagerResolver>()
.ConstructedBy(() => kernel.Get<GetManagerResolver>());
Or you can globally sepecify your Ninject kernel to be used by Automapper when resolving any type with Mapper.Configuration.ConstructServicesUsing method:
Mapper.Configuration.ConstructServicesUsing((type) => kernel.Get(type));

What I ended up doing was to create NinjectModule for Automapper where I put all my automapper configuration and tell automapper to use Ninject Kernel to construct objects. Here is my code:
public class AutoMapperModule : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
Mapper.Initialize(cfg =>
{
cfg.ConstructServicesUsing(t => Kernel.Get(t));
cfg.AddProfile(new Profile1());
cfg.AddProfile(new Profile2());
});
}
}
