Are dictionaries supported by the automapper?

[DanielT]

I have an entity like so in a test project:

------------------------------------------------------------

public class Land {
public virtual IDictionary<string, int> Damages { get; set; }
}

------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using this code to try and automap it:

------------------------------------------------------------

var model = AutoMap.AssemblyOf<Land>().Where(t => t.Namespace ==
"Test.DomainModel");

Fluently.Configure()
.Database(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard.InMemory)
.Mappings(m => m.AutoMappings.Add(model)
.BuildSessionFactory();

------------------------------------------------------------

When I execute the configurer, I get the following exception:

"The type or method has 2 generic parameter(s), but 1 generic argument
(s) were provided. A generic argument must be provided for each
generic parameter."

A search on Google seems to indicate that this issue has been around
for a while now, but no solutions have turned up. Does the automapper
support dictionaries? Or is this a known issue that hasn't been
resolved yet?

I don't think the automapper supports dictionaries, I have asked the
question myself but I sadly did not get an answer.

It's not supported. I estimate that none of the regular contributors
consider this a high priority so its unlikely to get attention any
time soon, unless a member of the community submits a patch.

Aye, just use an IAutomappingOverride for the entity in question.

The problem is that I get an exception just by adding a dictionary in
my class and it does not even work to use the ignore property thingy

Yeah unfortunately James, the automapping code just can't deal with a
member of a generic type with more than one argument. It doesn't get
anywhere near applying overrides.

Marcus, you should exclude the entire class from automapping and
fluently map it.
