Automapper and support for is*specified property

[hanze...@gmail.com]

Hello,
I would like to map domain object to dto by automapper. however generated dto uses "is*specified" bool attributes for optional elements and I have to set this properties manually.  

Has automapper any support for this issue?

Same request was mentioned on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2408853/automapper-and-isspecified-properties.

Thanks

Hi,
looks like you need to use .AfterMap() and update corresponding properties manually.

Another question is why do you need this?
Could it be replaced with nullable property and 

bool IsXxSpecified { get { return _xx.HasValue; }}

?

Yeah, your proposition sounds good, but I don't want to change any code such as IsXxSpecified property because this code is generated by some visual studio tool. 

It's boring to replace code every time after generation of files (e.g. get modified xsd file).

So no - there isn't. I'm planning on adding support for this via user-defined conventions in 4.0. Can you open a GitHub issue for this?

Thanks,

Jimmy
