Automapper 6 : Mapping c# Func

[Jagat Ojha]

I have a parameter on method

 Func<UOMViewModel, dynamic> orderBy


and which I need to change to

 Func<UOM, dynamic> orderByToRepo

. After doing some research I tried following code

var config1 = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => { cfg.CreateMap<Func<UOMViewModel, dynamic>, Func<UOM, dynamic>>(); });
IMapper mapper1 = config1.CreateMapper();
var orderByToRepo= mapper1.Map<Func<UOMViewModel, dynamic>, Func<UOM, dynamic>>(orderBy);
IEnumerable<UOM> uoms = _uomRepository.GetAll(orderByToRepo, pageSize, pageNumber, sortOrder);

But while running the code I am getting error on line var orderByToRepo= mapper1.Map<Func<UOMViewModel, dynamic>, Func<UOM, dynamic>>(orderBy);

The error is

System.Func`2[Entities.Entities.UOM,System.Object] needs to have a constructor with 0 args or only optional args Parameter name: type

Is there anything I have missed. Please need help.

Thank you.

You can't map functions. That's literally impossible, it would be rewriting IL. Have you instead considered expressions?

Hi Automapper Team,

Could you help me on this. Is there any other way to implement mapping logic.

Waiting for your response.

Thank you.

You could use ConvertUsing and provide the mapping function yourself.
