automapper自动创建映射,使用AutoMapper映射子集合

I am using Automapper for making a copy of an object

My domain can be reduced into this following example

Consider I have a Store with a collection of Location

public class Store

{

public string Name { get; set;}

public Person Owner {get;set;}

public IList Locations { get; set;}

}

Below is an example of a store instance

var source = new Store

{

Name = "Worst Buy",

Owner = new Person { Name= "someone", OtherDetails= "someone" },

Locations = new List

{

new Location { Id = 1, Address ="abc" },

new Location { Id = 2, Address ="abc" }

}

};

My Mappings are configured as

var configuration = new ConfigurationStore(

new TypeMapFactory(), MapperRegistry.AllMappers());

configuration.CreateMap();

configuration.CreateMap();

configuration.CreateMap();

I get the mapped instance as

var destination = new MappingEngine(configuration).Map(source);

The destination object I get from mapping has a Locations collection with the same two instances present in the source, that is

Object.ReferenceEquals(source.Locations[0], destination.Locations[0]) returns TRUE

My question is

How can I configure Automapper to create new instances of Location while mapping.

解决方案

When creating the maps you can use a method and that method can do pretty much anything. For example:

public void MapStuff()

{

Mapper.CreateMap()

.ForMember(dest => dest.Location, opt => opt.MapFrom(source => DoMyCleverMagic(source)));

}

private ReturnType DoMyCleverMagic(Location source)

{

//Now you can do what the hell you like.

//Make sure to return whatever type is set in the destination

}

Using this method you could pass it an Id in the StoreDTO and it can instantiate a location :)
