Answer 1

I found the solution, Thanks all for reply.

category = (Categoies)AutoMapper.Mapper.Map(viewModel, category, typeof(CategoriesViewModel), typeof(Categoies));

But, I have already dont know the reason. I cant understand fully.

Answer 2

Check your Global.asax.cs file and be sure that this line be there

 AutoMapperConfig.Configure();

Answer 3

Upgrade Automapper to version 6.2.2. It helped me

Answer 4

I was trying to map an IEnumerable to an object. This is way I got this error. Maybe it helps.

Answer 5

I created a new AutomapperProfile class. It extends Profile. We have over 100 projects in our solution. Many projects have an AutomapperProfile class, but this one was new to this existing project. However, I did find what I had to do to fix this issue for us. There is a Binding project. Within the Initialization there is this code:

var mappingConfig = new List<Action<IConfiguration>>();

// Initialize the Automapper Configuration for all Known Assemblies
mappingConfig.AddRange( new List<Action<IConfiguration>>
{
   ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType<Application.Administration.AutomapperProfile>,
   //...

I had to add ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType<MyNewNamespace.AutomapperProfile>

Note that ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType looks like this:

    private static void ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType<T>( IConfiguration configuration )
    {
        var log = LogProvider.Get( typeof (AutomapperConfiguration) );

        // The Automapper Profile Type
        var automapperProfileType = typeof (Profile);

        // The Assembly containing the type
        var assembly = typeof (T).Assembly;
        log.Debug( "Scanning " + assembly.FullName );

        // Configure any Profile classes found in the assembly containing the type.
        assembly.GetTypes()
            .Where( automapperProfileType.IsAssignableFrom ).ToList()
            .ForEach( x =>
            {
                log.Debug( "Adding Profile '" + x.FullName + "'" );
                configuration.AddProfile( Activator.CreateInstance( x ) as Profile );
            } );
    }

Best regards, -Jeff

In my case, I had created the map, but was missing the ReverseMap function. Adding it got rid of the error.

      private static void RegisterServices(ContainerBuilder bldr)
      {
         var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
         {
            cfg.AddProfile(new CampMappingProfile());
         });
         ...
       }


      public CampMappingProfile()
      {
         CreateMap<Talk, TalkModel>().ReverseMap();
         ...
      }
