ASP.NET Zero not mapping Paid Editions

I have recently started using the ASP.NET Zero system and noticed that when I'm attempting to change an edition to a paid edition, it does not show it when I go to edit the edition again. In my database, I have the other values that I entered so the edition is saving correctly. When editing the edition, the radio button will still say "Free."

I noticed that the EditionAppService.cs file utilizes the ObjectMapper to map from SubscribableEditions to EditionEditDto. When the SubscribableEdition enters the mapper, it has the values for Monthly and Annual prices. When it exits the mapper as the EditionEditDto, both values are null. Somehow, the ObjectMapper isn't pulling over these values.

I have attached two pictures below. The first shows the SubscribableEdition that has the AnnualPrice and the MonthlyPrice.

SubscribableEdition

When I take the next step in the second picture to see the results of the ObjectMapper, you will see that it no longer has a value for either of those fields in the EditionEditDto.

EditionEditDto

This results in the edition appearing to be Free when editing it. I thought that maybe the fact that it was a nullable Decimal was the problem. But once I removed that and converted it to a normal decimal, it filled in the prices with zeroes instead of null values. When I downloaded and completed the PhoneBook tutorial, I noticed that project also had the same issue of the Edition not saving.

I am trying to figure out why the mapper isn't mapping the values over to the EditionEditDto correctly.

Solution

  • It's due to a missing map in CustomDtoMapper.cs that will be added in v5.1:

    - configuration.CreateMap<EditionEditDto, SubscribableEdition>();
    + configuration.CreateMap<EditionEditDto, SubscribableEdition>().ReverseMap();
