Automapper and NHibernate: lazy loading

I have the following scenario.

public class DictionaryEntity
{
    public virtual string DictionaryName { get; set; }

    public virtual IList<DictionaryRecordEntity> DictionaryRecord { get; set; }
}

public class DictionaryDto
{
     public string DictionaryName { get; set; }

     public IList<DictionaryRecordEntity> DictionaryRecord { get; set; }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

I am using Automapper and NHibernate. In NHibernate, the DictionaryRecord property is marked as lazy loaded .

When I make the comparison by DictionaryEntity → DictionaryDto , AutoMapper loads all my vocabulary dictionaries.

But I don't want this behavior, there is a way to configure Automapper to not allow this property until I actually have access to that property.

My workaround for this situation consists of splitting the dictionary into 2 classes and creating a second Automapper mapping.

public class DictionaryDto
{
     public string DictionaryName { get; set; }
}

public class DictionaryDtoFull : DictionaryDto
{
     public IList<DictionaryRecordEntity> DictionaryRecord { get; set; }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

and then in code, call AutoMapper.Map as appropriate.

return Mapper.Map<DictionaryDto>(dict);            
return Mapper.Map<DictionaryDtoFull>(dict);

      

        
        
        
      

    

Does anyone have a better solution for my problem?
