Map COM object with automapper

Question

I'm having an issue mapping from a COM object to an object. I believe the problem is that GetType() on the COM object returns System.__ComObject. How can I get around this?

Missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping.

Mapping types:
Recipient -> RecipientModel
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Recipient -> MyApp.Forms.Models.RecipientModel

Destination path:
RecipientModel

Source value:
System.__ComObject

I ended up just making my own mapping method that mapped it manually. — The Muffin Man, Jun 08 '16 at 23:03
That is what I have done also as I do not completely understand the answer in the github thread. But the Example they are using in the thread is for outlook and they made it work. I am waiting for one of them to answer a question there for more clarification. — Steve, Jun 09 '16 at 00:25

This was brought up on the AutoMapper Repo and the solution is to map to only the COM class implementing the interface or just cast when mapping.

Do concrete classes even exist? In the Office stuff there is no class, everything is an interface. – The Muffin Man Jun 08 '16 at 23:01
