Is it possible to configure AutoMapper to return a new instance of the destination type if the source object is null?
Source source = null;
Dest d1 = AutoMapper.Mapper.Map<Source, Dest>(source);
// d1 == null
// I'm looking for a way to configure AutoMapper to
// eliminate this code:
Dest d2 = AutoMapper.Mapper.Map<Source, Dest>(source) ?? new Dest();
