ValueInjecter custom mapping doesn't work on custom properties

Question

I have this code:

 Mapper.AddMap<Product, DetailsVM>(src =>
 {
            var res = new DetailsVM();
            res.InjectFrom(src); // maps properties with same name and type
            res.test = "asd";
            return res;
  });

  productVM.InjectFrom(test);

I have everything working and this is my VM:

public int ProductId { get; set; }
public decimal Cost { get; set; }
public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
public int OnHandQty { get; set; }

public ProductPicture thumb { get; set; }
public ProductPicture main { get; set; }

public string test { get; set; }

the actual model doesn't have the property test, I simply want to set test to any string. how do I do it? I keep on getting null whenever i try to map.

Answer 1

you need to call Mapper.Map instead of InjectFrom, InjectFrom is not affected by Mapper.AddMap
