Automapper ConfigurationExpression Condition - automapper

Quick question - whats the difference in the following?
This one works:
CreateMap<OrderResult, OrderViewModel>()
.ForMember(x => x.SoldTo, opt => opt.Ignore())
.ForMember(x => x.ShipTo, opt => opt.Ignore())
.ForMember(x => x.ShowPlaceOrder, opt => opt.MapFrom(c => c.Messages.Count == 0));
I would expect this one to do pretty much the same thing except "Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid();" fails on this one saying that "ShowPlaceOrder" is not mapped.
CreateMap<OrderResult, OrderViewModel>()
.ForMember(x => x.SoldTo, opt => opt.Ignore())
.ForMember(x => x.ShipTo, opt => opt.Ignore())
.ForMember(x => x.ShowPlaceOrder, opt => opt.Condition(c => c.Messages.Count == 0));
Thanks

You still need to provide a source for ShowPlaceOrder in case the condition is true. The "Condition" method takes a predicate to decide if the mapping should be done. I think your first example is more clear.

AutoMapper ProjectTo not loading navigation properties for conditional mapping

I have the following mapping for a property
.ForMember(x => x.Destination, opt => opt.MapFrom(x =>
x.Request.PurposeId == (int)PurposeTypes.PickUpShipment
? x.Request.RequestDestinations.FirstOrDefault().Destination
: x.Request.ShippingDestinationDetails.FirstOrDefault(dd => dd.ShippingAddressTypeId == (int)ShippingRequestAddressType.Destination).ShippingAddress.Destination
))
And the destination object map is like this
CreateMap<Destination, DestinationDTO>()
.ForMember(x => x.LocationCode, opt => opt.MapFrom(x => x.LocationCode))
.ForMember(x => x.CountryCode, opt => opt.MapFrom(x => x.CountryCode))
.ForMember(x => x.CountryName, opt => opt.MapFrom(x => x.State.StateShortName)); // this is not working
The problem is when I am using ProjectTo the CountryName is not loading because it is not loading the navigation property State of the destination, so x.State.StateShortName is coming empty.
And I found out the reason behind it, this is happening because I am loading the destination conditionally and because of this it is not loading the navigation property, because if I remove the condition and loads the destination like this it works
.ForMember(x => x.Destination, opt => opt.MapFrom(x =>
x.Request.RequestDestinations.FirstOrDefault().Destination
))
So basically ProjectTo is not loading the navigation property if the property mapping is conditional and not direct.
Is there any way I can achieve this?

AutoMapper specific value for a property

I'm trying to map List to List but one of the properties of the DtoLineItem is different.
How can I tell AutoMapper to map a specific property of LineItem to that Property?
I've tried this:
CreateMap<Cart, CartModel>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.LineItems, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.LineItems))
.ForMember(dest => dest.LineItems.Select(x => x.CustomField),
opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.LineItems.Select(y => y.Description)));
AutoMapper.AutoMapperConfigurationException Custom configuration for
members is only supported for top-level individual members on a type.

Automapper - Mapping Multiple Properties using 1 Resolver

Mapper.CreateMap<WorkItemSummary, WorkItemSummaryDto> ()
.ForMember(dto => dto.ProductDisplayName, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Product.DisplayName))
.ForMember(dto => dto.TeamId, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Product.Team.TeamId))
.ForMember(dto => dto.TeamName, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Product.Team.TeamName))
.ForMember(dto => dto.RRConsolidated, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<WIConsolidateResolveReasonResolver>())
.ForMember(dto => dto.NewBugsQuery, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<WIQueryNewBugsResolver>())
.ForMember(dto => dto.ResolvedBugsQuery, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<WIQueryResolvedResolver>())
.ForMember(dto => dto.ClosedBugsQuery, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<WIQueryClosedResolver>())
.ForMember(dto => dto.BacklogQuery, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<WIQueryBacklogResolver>())
.ForMember(dto => dto.ResolvedReasonFixQuery, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<WIQueryResolvedReasonFixResolver>());
--- Adding One Resolver Code and mostly all resolvers are doing same Job but pulling different content from Xml Nodes
public class WIQueryNewBugsResolver: ValueResolver<WorkItemSummary, string>
{
protected override string ResolveCore(WorkItemSummary source)
{
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(System.IO.Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.RelativeSearchPath, "WIsQuery.xml"));
....
}
}
I have multiple resolvers doing almost same job of reading some xmls and getting the data. Thinking of consolidating all those calls under one resolver.
ex: WIConsolidateResolveReasonResolver, WIQueryResolvedReasonFixResolver, WIQueryBacklogResolver
In this regard, can I call one resolver once and get all the other properties populated in one call.
Is there any other method call in place of ForMember
Thanks
use "forallmembers" method of automapper if same job you are doing.may be it will help for you.

Issue with Ignoring nested Properties using Automapper

I have ran into an issue where I am trying to ignore properties within properties. e.g.
Mapper.CreateMap<Node, NodeDto>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.ChildNodes, opt => opt.Ignore())
.ForMember(dest => dest.NodeType.EntityType.Properties, opt => opt.Ignore());
I get following exception:
{"Expression 'dest => dest.NodeType.EntityType.Properties' must resolve to top-level member.\r\nParameter name: lambdaExpression"}
Any idea?
Well I have managed to figure it out by myself. I have to specify the nested property options in its own dto mapping. However let me know if there is another better way of doing this
Mapper.CreateMap<EntityType, EntityTypeDto>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.Properties, opt => opt.Ignore());
Mapper.CreateMap<Node, NodeDto>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.ChildNodes, opt => opt.Ignore());

AutoMapper Sorting List

I have this mapping defined
Mapper.CreateMap<Telephone, TelephoneDTO>()
.ForMember(dto => dto.Extension, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Extension))
.ForMember(dto => dto.Number, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Number))
.ForMember(dto => dto.Type, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.TelephoneType.Id));
when i do
IList<TelephoneDTO> dtos = Mapper.Map<IList<Telephone>, IList<TelephoneDTO>>(tels);
i would like the list of TelephoneDTO to be sorted by the Type.
How can i do that ?
thanks
AutoMapper is used for mapping, not for sorting. You could sort the list once the mapping being done:
IList<TelephoneDTO> dtos = Mapper
.Map<IList<Telephone>, IList<TelephoneDTO>>(tels)
.OrderBy(x => x.Type)
.ToList();
or
IList<TelephoneDTO> dtos = Mapper
.Map<IList<Telephone>, IList<TelephoneDTO>>(tels.OrderBy(x => x.Type))
