AutoMapper 8.0 missing GetPropertyMaps

Prior to AutoMapper 8.0, I used this code to find a property mapping by string, example: entity model has property named "currency_id" and DTO has property named "currency". I have defined bi-directional mapping in AutoMapper, and I used this code to find source/target property relat



    public static string GetDestinationPropertyFor<TSrc, TDst>(IMapper IMapper, string sourceProperty)
{
var mapper = AutoMapper.IMapper.ConfigurationProvider;

// TSrc = source generic type
// TDst = destination generic type
var map = mapper.FindTypeMapFor<TSrc, TDst>();

var propertyMap = map.GetPropertyMaps()
.FirstOrDefault(pm =>
pm.SourceMember.Name == sourceProperty
);


return propertyMap.DestinationProperty.Name;
}


In AutoMapper Profile:



        this.CreateMap<EntityModels.contact, DTO.contact>()
.ForMember(m => m.currency, src => src.MapFrom(f => f.currency_id))
;

this.CreateMap<DTO.contact, EntityModels.contact>()
.ForMember(m => m.currency_id, src => src.MapFrom(f => f.currency))
;


When I called my method like this:



var _dboField = GetDestinationPropertyFor<DTO.contact, EntityModels.contact>(this.mapper, "currency");

Console.WriteLine(_dboField);
// output should be "currency_id"


After upgrading to AutoMapper 8.0 I got this error at build:



'TypeMap' does not contain a definition for 'GetPropertyMaps' and no accessible extension method 'GetPropertyMaps' accepting a first argument of type 'TypeMap' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)



What are replacements for GetPropertyMaps in AutoMapper 8.0?



Thanks!

  • But why do you need that destination property? Maybe there is a better way to do what you want.

  • This is a workaround for OData bugs. API accepts arguments like property names from DTO but has to 'reflect' it to Entity model. For example: $orderby=currency should build Expression like .OrderBy(o => o.currency_id). I have this already done, what is the problem is missing feature in AutoMapper

  • That is done by mapping expressions. What you're doing is a hack. MemberMaps is what you want. But really, that code is not how you solve the problem.
