AutoMapper Migrating from static API

Question

https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/wiki/Migrating-from-static-API

this change breaks my system.

Before update, I use:

===> Startup.cs

public class Startup
{
    public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env)
    {
    ...
        MyAutoMapperConfiguration.Configure();
    }
}

===> MyAutoMapperConfiguration.cs

public class MyAutoMapperConfiguration
{
    public static void Configure()
    {
        Mapper.Initialize(a =>
        {
            a.AddProfile<AbcMappingProfile>();
            a.AddProfile<XyzMappingProfile>();
            a.AddProfile<QweMappingProfile>();
        });
    }
}

===> AbcMappingProfile.cs

public class AbcMappingProfile : Profile
{
    protected override void Configure()
    {
        Mapper.CreateMap<AbcEditViewModel, Abc>();
        Mapper.CreateMap<Abc, AbcEditViewModel>();
        ...
    }
}

ERROR:

'Mapper.CreateMap()' is obsolete: 'The static API will be removed in version 5.0. Use a MapperConfiguration instance and store statically as needed. Use CreateMapper to create a mapper instanace.'

I can use Mapper.Map. Now How can I use it

Answer 1

Instead of:

Mapper.CreateMap<AbcEditViewModel, Abc>();

The new syntax is:

var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => {
  cfg.CreateMap<AbcEditViewModel, Abc>();
});

Then:

IMapper mapper = config.CreateMapper();
var source = new AbcEditViewModel();
var dest = mapper.Map<AbcEditViewModel, Abct>(source);
