Can Automapper map a paged list?

Question

I\'d like to map a paged list of business objects to a paged list of view model objects using something like this:

var listViewModel = _mappingEngine.Map

Using jrummell's answer, I created an extension method that works with Troy Goode's PagedList. It keeps you from having to put so much code everywhere...

    public static IPagedList ToMappedPagedList(this IPagedList list)
    {
        IEnumerable sourceList = Mapper.Map, IEnumerable>(list);
        IPagedList pagedResult = new StaticPagedList(sourceList, list.GetMetaData());
        return pagedResult;

    }

Usage is:

var pagedDepartments = database.Departments.OrderBy(orderBy).ToPagedList(pageNumber, pageSize).ToMappedPagedList();
