Usage of Automapper when property names are different

Question

We are using AutoMapper from Codeplex and for me the destination object has all the properties ending with 'Field', ie cityField and the source object has just city.

I can use the below code to achieve but all of the properties are just suffixed with 'Field' and there are 20 properties.

.ForMember(dest => dest.cityField, opt => opt.MapFrom(origin => origin.City));

Is there any other way to ignore 'Field' word when mapping and so that it can map without using .ForMember() 20 times?

Answer 1

I think you'll have to implement your own INamingConvention to work around this.

Answer 2

You can try recognizing postfixes:

Mapper.Initialize(cfg => {
    cfg.RecognizePrefixes("Field");
    cfg.CreateMap<Source, Dest>();
});

Recognizing prefixes also works local to profiles, if it's just a set of maps that this applies to.
