ValueInjecter mapping subobjects from a collection

Question

I try to map a list of objects with ValueInjecter using a LINQ query like this :

var thingsCollection = rep.Things.Select(x => new ThingDTO().InjectFrom(x) as ThingDTO)
                                     .OrderByDescending(x => x.StartDate).ToList();

The problem is that the Thing and the ThingDTO objects contain other objets :

public class ThingDTO
{
    public DateTime StartDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime EndDate { get; set; }
    public MaterialDTO Material{ get; set; }
}

What kind of injection method should I use to get the sub object map ? Or do I have to do a foreach instead of the LINQ query ?

you would have to do it manually for each new mapped object you need to instantiate the collection manually and add the new mapped elements — Omu, Jul 25 '13 at 12:51
That's what I ended up doing. Works fine. If you want to post your comment as an answer I will accept it. — Patrice Cote, Jul 25 '13 at 19:54
