How to Map ComplexType in EntityFramework.

[ankit1...@gmail.com]

I do have a parent Entity,
class Parent

{

  public string Name {get; set;}

  public ComplexTypeChild ComplexTypeChild {get; set;} 

}

class ComplexTypeChild

{

   public string address{get; set;}

}

 

How can I add Automapper for this. I am using Entity Framework.

Do you want to map the "Parent" class to something?  What does the destination class look like?

Hi Patrick,

Actually I am trying to Map to Parent to it's DTO like this:
Mapper.CreateMap<Parent, ParentDTO>() but getting the below exception:

Unable to create a map expression from ComplexTypeChild to ComplexTypeChildDTO

Here ComplexTypeChild is not a database table but working as ComplexType of Entity Framework.

tried doing the below...but it didn't worked:
 Mapper.CreateMap<ComplexTypeChild, ComplexTypeChildDTO>()

You're going to need to post your full source/destination types. And the full exception, too.

The below error I am getting.

 

Only primitive types, enumeration types and entity types are supported.

Here's what I need: The source AND destination types, the mapping configuration, and the code you're using to get the exception.

Please.

Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>()

as DestinationVersion and SourceVersion  are of ComplexType.

I am getting error for get operation of web api
context.Sources.Project().To<Destination>();

hi,

 

can anybody respond on this please.

[Jimmy Bogard]

I'm looking at your Source/Destination types, and they look *nothing* alike. Are you sure you're sending me the right types? Source has three properties, none of which have the same name on Destination. Destination has a dozen or so properties.

It looks like you're trying to map a potato to a banana, and are surprised when it doesn't work.

When you run Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid(), what do you see?

[Ankit Gupta]

re-uploaded the corrected files..please have a glance once.

[Ankit Gupta]

ran Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid(). it didn't got me any exception/error.
