can automapper create an object graph from flatted object?

Is possible with Automapper to map a flat object to complex object graph?

 Mapper.CreateMap<PersonDto,Person>()

Map PersonDto.BirthCertificateFatherName to Person.BirthCertificate.FatherName

Solution

  • No it can't, it does it the other way 

    Person.BirthCertificate.FatherName to  PersonDto.BirthCertificateFatherName

    UPDATE: ValueInjecter can do this:

    //unflattening
person.InjectFrom<UnflatLoopValueInjection>(personDto);

//flatenning
personDto.InjectFrom<FlatLoopValueInjection>(person);
