I've tried numerous examples on here and from the automapper wiki and I am still unable to get this issue resolved. I am trying to map a nested object and a nested collection and no matter what I do it always throws an error. The only way I can get the controller to return data is by turning on option.ignore for the two properties.
These are the business layer objects I am trying to map
public class LocationBL
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public string Address2 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string Zipcode { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public DbGeography Coordinates { get; set; }
public int LocationType_Id { get; set; }
public virtual LocationTypeBL LocationType { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<SportBL> Sports { get; set; }
}
public class LocationTypeBL
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<LocationBL> Locations { get; set; }
}
public class SportBL
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<LocationBL> Locations { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<UserBL> Users { get; set; }
}
These are the data layer objects
public class Location : EntityData
{
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("Company")]
public int? CompanyId { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public string Address2 { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string Zipcode { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
[Required]
public DbGeography Coordinates { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("LocationType")]
public int LocationType_Id { get; set; }
public virtual LocationType LocationType { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Sport> Sports { get; set; }
public virtual Company Company { get; set; }
}
public class LocationType : EntityData
{
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Location> Locations { get; set; }
}
public class Sport : EntityData
{
[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Location> Locations { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<User> Users { get; set; }
}
This is my mapping profile
public class LocationProfile : Profile
{
public LocationProfile()
{
CreateMap<LocationType, LocationTypeBL>();
CreateMap<LocationTypeBL, LocationType>();
CreateMap<Location, LocationBL>()
.ForMember(Dest => Dest.Sports,
opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Sports))
.ForMember(Dest => Dest.LocationType,
opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.LocationType));
CreateMap<LocationBL, Location>()
.ForMember(Dest => Dest.Sports,
opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.Sports))
.ForMember(Dest => Dest.LocationType,
opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.LocationType));
}
}
UPDATE *******
This is my LocationType profile
public class LocationTypeProfile : Profile
{
public LocationTypeProfile()
{
CreateMap<LocationType, LocationTypeBL>();
CreateMap<LocationTypeBL, LocationType>();
}
}
This is my Sport profile
public class SportProfile : Profile
{
public SportProfile()
{
CreateMap<Sport, SportBL>();
CreateMap<SportBL, Sport>();
}
}
Not sure if it matters but this is an Azure Mobile App backend using Autofac, WebAPI, and OWIN. This is my first time using AutoMapper and Autofac so please forgive me as I am still learning. The profiles are all registered and if I set the nested objects to ignore, the controller returns the proper data.
Thank you in advance!!!
You are almost there. You need to instruct AutoMapper on how to map the nested objects as well. So you need to create a map for the Sport to SportBL, and vice-versa, also.
// use ForMember if needed, but you know how to do that so I won't
// show it.
CreateMap<Sport, SportBL>();
Then AutoMapper will use that mapping when it mapping nested complex types.
Another note, if your classes have the same properties, you can just call the ReverseMap() method and it will do bidirectional mapping for you.
So instead of this:
CreateMap<LocationType, LocationTypeBL>();
CreateMap<LocationTypeBL, LocationType>();
You can just do this to accomplish the same thing:
Mapper.CreateMap<LocationType, LocationTypeBL>().ReverseMap();

i have a class
public class Order
{
public string Name{ get; set; }
public Nullable<int> StatusId { get; set; }
public virtual Status Status { get; set; }
}
public class Status
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class OrderDto
{
public Nullable<int> StatusId { get; set; }
public string Name{ get; set; }
}
public class StatusDto
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
autoMapper:
cfg.CreateMap<Order, OrderDto>().ReverseMap();
cfg.CreateMap<Status, StatusDto>().ReverseMap();
In model classes I was able to do this:
name = order.status.Name
How can i achieve that when using autoMapper
Your OrderDto does not have Status, so you can not get Status name from mapped object.
So either you will create new property in OrderDto class StatusName, and map it to status.name of your model, or add to OrderDto object StatusDto field, like this:
public class OrderDto
{
public string Name{ get; set; }
public Nullable<int> StatusId { get; set; }
public StatusDto Status { get; set; }
}
Then AutoMapper will map models's Status field to OrderDto's Status field.
You can do that, but you need to define it in mapper profile.
CreateMap<Order, OrderDTO>()
.ForMember(dst => dst.name, src => src.MapFrom(x => x.status.Name));
I am trying to set up audit properties for each of my Entities with an abstract Base class
public abstract class Base
{
public bool IsActive { get; set; }
public bool IsDeleted { get; set; }
public int CreatedByUserId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("CreatedByUserId")]
public virtual User CreatedBy { get; set; }
public int ModifiedByUserId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("ModifiedByUserId")]
public virtual User ModifiedBy { get; set; }
public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; }
public DateTime DateModified { get; set; }
}
Somehow the Data Annotations doesn't work in EF Core but was working in my EF 6 Project
I am now receiving this error:
Unable to determine the relationship represented by navigation 'Address.CreatedBy' of type 'User'. Either manually configure the relationship, or ignore this property using the '[NotMapped]' attribute or by using 'EntityTypeBuilder.Ignore' in 'OnModelCreating'.
These are my models:
public class Address : Base
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string StringAddress { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string State { get; set; }
public string ZipCode { get; set; }
public int UserId { get; set; }
public User User { get; set; }
}
public class User : Base
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string MiddleName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string ContactNumber { get; set; }
public string SecondaryContactNumber { get; set; }
public int RoleId { get; set; }
public Role Role { get; set; }
public HashSet<Address> Addresses { get; set; }
}
What's weird is when I remove the Base inheritance from my other entities apart from User, EF Core is able to set the FK without any errors.
How do I configure it manually with Fluent API?
I already have a BaseConfig class as starting point to be inherited by my other entity config classes:
public class BaseConfig<TEntity> : IEntityTypeConfiguration<TEntity> where TEntity : Base
{
public virtual void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<TEntity> builder)
{
builder.Property(x => x.DateCreated).HasDefaultValueSql("GETDATE()");
builder.Property(x => x.DateModified).HasDefaultValueSql("GETDATE()");
// Am I setting this correctly?
builder
.HasOne(b => b.CreatedBy)
.WithMany()
.HasForeignKey(p => p.CreatedByUserId);
}
}
Using the following entities
public class User
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Username { get; set; }
}
public class GeneralEntity
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public User CreatedByUser { get; set; }
public User DeletedByUser { get; set; }
}
How do I flatten this to the GeneralEntityDto below?
public class GeneralEntityDto
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string CreatedByUsername { get; set; }
public string DeletedByUsername { get; set; }
}
I have tried setting up my mappings as seen below but it fails with a complaint about "CreatedByUsername" and "DeletedByUsername" not being mapped.
protected void Configure()
{
CreateMap<GeneralEntity, GeneralEntityDto>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.CreatedByUsername,
opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.CreatedByUser.Username))
.ForMember(dest => dest.DeletedByUsername, opt =>
opt.MapFrom(src => src.DeletedByUser.Username));
}
You can use the naming convention that automapper provides.
Basically if you include the exact string of the property name of the source Object you do not have to add ForMember() automapper is clever enough to do it automatically.
That means for example :
public class GeneralEntity
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public User CreatedBy { get; set; } // renaming just for simplicity
public User DeletedBy { get; set; } // renaming just for simplicity
}
public class GeneralEntityDto
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string CreatedByUsername { get; set; }
public string DeletedByUsername { get; set; }
}

AutoMapper TwoWay Mapping with same Property Name
I am trying to update an record in my system. Everything on the model saves great, except any of my many to many type relationships on the form. When I get to those in my model it gives me the error. "The member with identity 'PmData.SafetyRequirement_Assets' does not exist in the metadata collection.\r\nParameter name: identity". I've read over some of the other answers but I do not have any triggers on my database, and I've gone through several changes in my model based on other suggestions and it doesn't seem to change anything. The project is in vNext.
Here is my first model
public partial class Asset : DataModel
{
[Required]
[StringLength(64)]
public string Name { get; set; }
[StringLength(256)]
public string Description { get; set; }
[StringLength(1024)]
public string SystemFunction { get; set; }
[StringLength(2048)]
public string Remarks { get; set; }
public bool IsSystem { get; set; }
public bool IsGrouping { get; set; }
[StringLength(128)]
public string FieldTag { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("Parent")]
public int? ParentId { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("Building")]
public int? BuildingId { get; set; }
public bool IsOperable { get; set; }
public bool IsAvailable { get; set; }
public virtual Asset Parent { get; set; }
public virtual Building Building { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Asset> Children { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<DrawingReference> DrawingReferences { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<SpecReference> SpecReferences { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<SafetyRequirement> SafetyRequirements { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<SupportSystem> SupportSystems { get; set; }
}
The model for one the other table with a many to many.
public partial class SafetyRequirement : DataModel
{
[StringLength(256)]
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
[StringLength(2048)]
public string SafetyFunction { get; set; }
[StringLength(2048)]
public string FunctionalRequirements { get; set; }
[StringLength(2048)]
public string SystemBoundary { get; set; }
[StringLength(255)]
public string Reference { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("QualityLevel")]
public int QualityLevelId { get; set; }
public virtual QualityLevel QualityLevel { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Asset> Assets { get; set; }
}
The map for the joining table
modelBuilder.Entity<Asset>().HasMany(t => t.SafetyRequirements)
.WithMany(t => t.Assets)
.Map(m =>
{
m.MapRightKey("SafetyRequirementId");
m.MapLeftKey("AssetId");
m.ToTable("AssetSafetyRequirement");
});
Finally here's the area that it fails...
public virtual void SaveAsync(TEntity model)
{
Task.Run(() =>
{
using (
var dbContext =
(TContext)
Activator.CreateInstance(typeof (TContext),
ConfigOptions == null ? ConfigService.ConnectionString : ConfigOptions.ConnectionString))
{
var dbSet = dbContext.Set<TEntity>();
dbSet.Attach(model);
dbContext.Entry(model).State = EntityState.Modified;
dbContext.SaveChanges();
}
});
}
Any information or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
You're trying to use both Fluent API and Data Annotations to define the relationships between your tables. Remove one or the other.
I have the following class and interface definitions, and would like to use EmitMapper instead of AutoMapper to map from class to interface. The current code works, but I'd like to use EmitMapper, yet have not figured out how to use it.
public interface ITreeViewDTO
{
int Id { get; set; }
string Name { get; set; }
int? Parent_Id { get; set; }
string ExtraData { get; set; }
IEnumerable<ITreeViewDTO> SubNode { get; set; }
}
public class Navigation
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name{ get; set; }
public int? Parent_Id { get; set; }
public virtual IList<Navigation> SubNavigations { get; set; }
}
This is the current AutoMapper configuration for the desired mapping:
Mapper.CreateMap<Navigation, ITreeViewDTO>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.SubNode,
opt => opt.MapFrom<IEnumerable<Navigation>>(src => src.SubNavigations));
var iTreeView = Mapper.Map<Navigation, ITreeViewDTO>(root);
What would be the equivalent EmitMapper code for the above sample?
