AutoMapper Enum to byte with implemention IMapperConfigurator

Question

Enum definition is

public enum RowStatusEnum
{
    Modified = 1,
    Removed = 2,
    Added = 3
}

public class RowStatusEnumConvertor : IMapperConfigurator
{
           


        

Answer 1

I have reproduced your problem. The solution is pretty simple, don't configure AutoMapper and set the base type of the enum to byte. Like this:

public enum RowStatusEnum : byte
{
   Modified = 1,
   Removed = 2,
   Added = 3,
}

To let it work:

byte x = 3;
RowStatusEnum rowStatus = Mapper.Map(x); 
//The result will be: Added
