IDictionary<string, object> to class mapping

[LOBOMINATOR]

Hello
Is it possible to map for example

Dictionary<string, object> keyValuePairs = new Dictionary<string,
object> {
{ "Name", "LOBOMINATOR" },
{ "Age", 25 },
...
}

to public class Person {

public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
}

?

Thanks for your help

Not right now, and some people have coded a custom way to do this with a custom IObjectMapper.  It's something I'm looking at for the next major version, however.

Do you have any other scenarios around dictionaries?  Arrays, child objects, etc?  That would help for me when I build this feature.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hy Jimmy,

Sorry for the late response. I would use this mainly for generic configuration dictionary mapping to concrete configuration types.

Hi Jimmy,

Has this been implemented yet in Automapper?

Nope. But hey, I'm always open for pull requests :)

I've done my research and trial and error, and with less hair I thought I'd turn it over to the gurus -- is a Dictionary to ICollection possible with AutoMapper 3.3.1?

I get an AutoMapper.AutoMapperConfigurationException when validating the following reverse mapping:

    Mapper.CreateMap<EntityClass, DTO>()

        .ForMember(dest => dest.MySettings, opts => opts.MapFrom(src => src.MySettings.ToDictionary(setting => setting.TypeId, setting => setting)))

    .ReverseMap()

        .ForMember(dest => dest.MySettings, opts => opts.MapFrom(src => ((Dictionary<int, SettingDTO>)src.MySettings).Values))

I'm trying to pull user settings from the database (via EntityFramework 6) and nestle them in with the DTO - which is sent out OK via HTTP GET. On the way back, it's breaking while converting the JSON array of SettingDTOs back into their Entities. Validating the config gives me:

AutoMapper.AutoMapperConfigurationException:

Unmapped members were found. Review the types and members below.

Add a custom mapping expression, ignore, add a custom resolver, or modify the source/destination type

==================================================

DTO-> EntityClass(Source member list)

DTO -> EntityClass (Source member list)

Unmapped properties:

Settings

I'd really appreciate any help or advice. Thanks all!
