I am having a bit of a problem using AutoMapper with some Configuration Elements.
I have the following classes:
public class SocialLinkSettingConfiguration : ConfigurationSection
{
[ConfigurationProperty("name", IsRequired = true, IsKey = true)]
public string Name
{
get { return this["name"] as string; }
set { this["name"] = value; }
}
[ConfigurationProperty("description", IsRequired = true)]
public string Description
{
get { return this["description"] as string; }
set { this["description"] = value; }
}
[ConfigurationProperty("url", IsRequired = true)]
public string Url
{
get { return this["url"] as string; }
set { this["url"] = value; }
}
[ConfigurationProperty("fontAwesomeClass", IsRequired = false)]
public string FontAwesomeClass
{
get { return this["fontAwesomeClass"] as string; }
set { this["fontAwesomeClass"] = value; }
}
[ConfigurationProperty("imageUrl", IsRequired = false)]
public string ImageUrl
{
get { return this["imageUrl"] as string; }
set { this["imageUrl"] = value; }
}
}
public class SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection
{
public SocialLinkSettingConfiguration this[int index]
{
get { return (SocialLinkSettingConfiguration)BaseGet(index); }
set
{
if (BaseGet(index) != null)
{
BaseRemoveAt(index);
}
BaseAdd(index, value);
}
}
public void Add(SocialLinkSettingConfiguration serviceConfig)
{
BaseAdd(serviceConfig);
}
public void Clear()
{
BaseClear();
}
protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
{
return new SocialLinkSettingConfiguration();
}
protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
{
return ((SocialLinkSettingConfiguration)element).Name;
}
public void Remove(SocialLinkSettingConfiguration serviceConfig)
{
BaseRemove(serviceConfig.Name);
}
public void RemoveAt(int index)
{
BaseRemoveAt(index);
}
public void Remove(string name)
{
BaseRemove(name);
}
}
public class SocialLinkSetting
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public string Url { get; set; }
public string FontAwesomeClass { get; set; }
public string ImageUrl { get; set; }
}
I can create a mapping between SocialLinkSetting and SocialLinkSettingConfiguration just fine.
However, when I am trying to convert a list of SocialLinkSetting to SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection, I fail every time.
What I am trying to do is take a list of Social Links, and convert it to a single SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection object that has all of the SocialLinkSetting inside and converted to SocialLinkSettingConfiguration.
I can't seem to do this. Each time, it doesn't know how to convert List to the SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection, then add each of the items.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
