I'm using Automapper and I have the following scenario: Class OrderModel has a property called 'ProductName' that isn't in the database. So when I try to do the mapping with:

Mapper.CreateMap<OrderModel, Orders>();

It generates an exception :

"The following 1 properties on Project.ViewModels.OrderModel are not mapped: 'ProductName'

I've read at AutoMapper's Wiki for Projections the opposite case (the extra attribute is on the destination, not in the source which is actually my case )

How can I avoid automapper to make the mapping of this property?

From Jimmy Bogard: CreateMap<Foo, Bar>().ForMember(x => x.Blarg, opt => opt.Ignore());

It's in one of the comments at his blog.
