Automapper with OData (IDelta) support -> Patch method

[Vladimir Gisser]

hi,

i have an azure mobile service.

The patch method (update an entity) has the following signature:

   public async  Task<EntityDto> PatchEntity(string id, Delta<EntityDto> patch)

what is the correct way to convert from Delta<EntityDto> to Delta<Entity> 

thanks,

So today, I don't support open generics, so you'd need to create a type converter for that one and any others:

CreateMap<Delta<EntityDto>, Delta<Entity>>().ConvertUsing(src => Mapper.Map<EntityDto, Entity>(src));

@Jimmy Bogard - I tried using your code to convert the Delta but unfortunately I am getting the above error.  I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction to resolve this?  I was thinking about taking in a DTO objert and then manually converting it to a Delta.  Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated.  I understand you are a busy guy, so thank you in advance for any time you feel you can devote to helping me.

Thank you so much for the response. I am stoked to hear this!  If you are ever in the domain area for lunch, I would gladly buy you a beer.  Thank you again for your amazing work with AutoMapper!
