How do I make CreateMap that maps into a all nullable enum properties.

[Jesper Risager]

I convert my enums into EnumViewObject's and back again, which I do in the following way:

public class EnumViewObjectToEnumConverter : ITypeConverter<EnumViewObject, Enum>
    {
        public Enum Convert(ResolutionContext context)
        {
            var enumViewObject = (EnumViewObject) context.SourceValue;
            return enumViewObject.ToEnum();
        }
    }


Mapper.CreateMap<EnumViewObject, Enum>()
      .ConvertUsing<EnumViewObjectToEnumConverter>();

That works for all non-nullable enum properties.

The problem is that it does not work when I am mapping into a nullable enum properties defined like this:

public TSortableFields? SortBy { get; set; } = null;
public SortOrder? SortOrder { get; set; } = null;

I Tried using an open generic version, but that doesn't catch it either:

Mapper.CreateMap(typeof(EnumViewObject), typeof(Nullable<>))

How do I do this, if I want to avoid writing stuff like this for every property i map:

Mapper.CreateMap<FindViewObjRequest<PriceListViewObj>, FindPriceListsRequest>()

      .ForMember(dest => dest.SortBy, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.SortBy.ToEnum<PriceListsSortableFields>()))

      .ForMember(dest => dest.SortOrder, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.SortOrder.ToEnum<SortOrder>()));

For completeness I am getting errors like this : (For the SortOrder as example since that is just a normal nullable enum and not the generic version, which might matter)

Missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping.

Mapping types:

EnumViewObject -> Nullable`1

Ed.Bio.Client.AppLayer.Shared.DataBinding.EnumViewObject -> System.Nullable`1[[Ed.Bio.Shared.Domain.Enums.Common.SortOrder, Ed.Bio.Shared.Domain, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]

Destination path:

FindPriceListsRequest.SortOrder.SortOrder

Source value:

#[85180436-4fdf-4c7a-b548-4e2daa3d5e14] - Descending - IsSelected:False

Pardon some of my plural grammar mistakes. I edited some of it to be properties etc. but forgot to delete a few a's etc. I hope it is readable anyways.
