Configure AutoMapper to map to concrete types but allow Interfaces in the definition of my class

Question

I have some code that is similar to what is below. Basically it represents getting data from a web service and converting it into client side objects.

void Main         


        

Answer 1

So I figured something that seems to work.

If I add these two mappings:

Mapper.CreateMap<SomethingFromWebService, Something>();
Mapper.CreateMap<SomethingFromWebService, ISomething>().As<Something>(); 

then it works as I want.

I have not been able to find any documentation on the 'As' method (try googling for that! :), but it seems to be a mapping redirection.

For example: For this Mapping (ISomething) resolve it As a Something.
