I am trying to map my domain model to viewModels in my MVC MVVM application. Here is the code of my Auto Mapper Configuration
public class AutoMapperConfiguration
{
public static void Configure()
{
Mapper.Initialize(x =>
{
x.AddProfile<BookStoreMappingProfile>();
});
}
}
Mapping Profile:
public class BookStoreMappingProfile: Profile
{
public static MapperConfiguration InitializeAutoMapper()
{
MapperConfiguration config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
{
cfg.CreateMap<Book, BookListViewModel>();
});
return config;
}
}
Global.asax
//AutoMapper Configuration
AutoMapperConfiguration.Configure();
And my controller code is:
public ActionResult Index()
{
IEnumerable<Book> Books = _bookService.GetAllBooks().ToList();
IEnumerable<BookListViewModel> BookListViewModel = Mapper.Map<IEnumerable<Book>, IEnumerable<BookListViewModel>>(Books);
return View(BookListViewModel);
}
BookListViewModel.cs
public class BookListViewModel
{
[DisplayName("Name")]
public string Name { get; set; }
[DisplayName("ISBN")]
public string ISBN { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Price")]
public double Price { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Rating")]
public double Rating { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Publisher")]
public string Publisher { get; set; }
}
Book.cs
public class Book
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string ISBN { get; set; }
public double Price { get; set; }
public double Rating { get; set; }
public string Publisher { get; set; }
public DateTime YearPublished { get; set; }
public string Edition { get; set; }
public int CategoryId { get; set; }
public virtual Category Categories { get; set;}
}
When I try to get my Index method in the controller, this exception is thrown:
Attempt by method 'AutoMapper.MapperConfiguration.FindClosedGenericTypeMapFor(AutoMapper.TypePair, AutoMapper.TypePair)' to access method 'AutoMapper.MapperConfiguration+<>c__DisplayClass69_0.b__0(AutoMapper.ProfileMap)' failed.
This is a method access exception but I don't know how to resolve the problem. Can someone give me insight to what is happening inside there?
