Answer 1

You could use a custom mapping lambda method but it seems like you would need more logic here. A custom resolver seems to be a good option in this case.

See Automapper wiki

https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/wiki/Custom-value-resolvers

In the mapping options you can specify a opt.ResolveUsing() where TResolver inherits from ValueResolver

Also, if I need to know how to do something with Automapper I find that the unit tests provide very rich documentation.

Hope that helps.
