Automapper inject dependencies into custom type converter using Simple injector (Ioc)

Question

i am using automapper to map from dtos to domain and vice versa; i am using custom type converter to do the conversion but i want to inject dependencies into my converter class using simple injector ioc; i can't do that. please tell me how to achieve that?

public class DtoToEntityConverter : ITypeConverter<Dto, Entity>
{
    private readonly IEntityRepository _entityRepository;

    public DtoToEntityConverter (IEntityRepository entityRepository )
    {
        _entityRepository = entityRepository ;
    }

    public Entity Convert(ResolutionContext context)
    {

    }

You'll need to configure services via AutoMapper:

var container = ConfigureSimpleInjectorContainer();

Mapper.Initialize(cfg => {
    cfg.ConstructServicesUsing(type => container.GetInstance(type));
    // The rest of your initialization
});
