I'm new using Automapper i searched a lot for a right answer but it seems i can't get it in my mind correctly so:
i have this block of code
var user = usersDao.FindById(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.GetUserId());
var userDto = Mapper.Map<ApplicationUser, UserDto>(user);
if (user.Student != null)
{
userDto.Account = Mapper.Map<Student, StudentDto>(user.Student);
}
if (user.Teacher != null)
{
userDto.Account = Mapper.Map<Teacher, TeacherDto>(user.Teacher);
}
userDto.Account.User = null;
so what i'm trying to do is i have this property in my UserDto
class
AccountDto Account
both StudentDto
and TeacherDto
inherited From it
so i want to make automapper to do self auto mapping to it, if it is from StudentDto
or TeacherDto
to Account
here is the classes
public class StudentDto : AccountDto
{
}
public class TeacherDto: AccountDto
{
}
public class AccountDto
{
public UserDto User { get; set; }
public string UserId { get; set; }
}
public class UserDto
{
public AccountDto Account { get; set; }
}
is there a simple solution?
