AutoMapper bidirectional mapping

If I want to do bi-directional mapping, do I need to create two mapping?

Mapper.CreateMap<A, B>() and Mapper.CreateMap<B, A>()?

Solution

Yes, because if you change the type of some property (for example DateTime -> string) it is not bidirectional (you will need to instruct Automapper how to convert string -> DateTime).
