Missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping error in Automapper
I am using Automapper
to map one model to a second model that has multiple rows with the same name as the first model. I am getting this inner exception
Missing map type configuration or unsupported mapping.
Display types: Bed -> Model1.Bed Bed -> Model2.Bed
This is a compressed version of the code.
Model 1
public class Model1
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Bed> Beds { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Bed> Beds1 { get; set; }
public string Status {get; set;}
public string Notes {get; set;}
}
public class Model2
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Bed> Beds { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Bed> Beds1 { get; set; }
}
public class Bed
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public Guid TypeId { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
public string Notes { get; set; }
public DateTime? CreatedOn { get; set; }
public DateTime? LastUpdatedOn { get; set; }
}
Mapping:
MapperConfiguration config = null;
config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => { cfg.CreateMap<Model1, Model2>(); });
IMapper mapper = config.CreateMapper();
var dest = mapper.Map<Model1, Model2>(update);
update is an instance of Model1. Am I missing something? Should I be doing something about the mapping of the Bed class even though they both refer to the same method? Also is there a way to copy data from one model to another in this scenario other than manually or using Automapper?
EDIT 1: I'm pretty sure the error is related to this mapping. I removed it and all other fields were fine and there were no exceptions. But I'm not sure how should I make the Bed → Bed binding.
EDIT 2: This link seems to have the same problem and they say this is a possible error and this seems to have an answer, although I'm not sure how I can adapt it to my situation.
