Mapping the 'count' on child list property in AutoMapper

Question

I am working in an ASP.NET MVC 4 application, and have something similar to this for my domain.

public class Party
{
    public Cake PartyCake { get; set; }
             


        

Answer 1

AutoMapper supports Count out of the box, your destination member is just named incorrectly. If you name your PartyVM property "CakeCandlesCount" it will have the right value.
