AutoMapper and convert a datetime to string

Question

I can\'t get my head round the following issue. I have a feeling it is a limitation of LINQ and expression trees, but not sure how to accept the lambda body. Can I achieve this

Answer 1

try this:

Mapper.CreateMap().ForMember(x => x.DateCreated,
  opt => opt.MapFrom(src => ((DateTime)src.DateCreated).ToShortDateString()));
