Automapper - want case sensitive

Question

From similar questions on here I have read here that AutoMapper used to be case sensitive, but is now case insensitive. I want it case sensitive - can't see any way to change this, and none of the other questions Re this showed how to do it (I did look). Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Is there any reason you can't use `.ForMember` when creating the maps? — Pete Garafano, Dec 19 '13 at 19:54
I don't believe I can - the maps are generated by a T4 template which just iterates over the columns. The problem I had was I had renamed a navigation propery and mistakenly given it the same name (albeit different case) as a regular property. By setting CLSCompliant(true) and promoting that warning to an error I now get a compilation error which is better than nothing. And actually now I am writing this I think I actually prefer this to having AutoMapper case sensitive. thanks Ray — RBrowning99, Dec 20 '13 at 01:24

You can Refer :

DataReaderMapper should create case-insensitive mappings by default

http://automapper.codeplex.com/workitem/6127

you can control this in Mapper.Initialize as the answer AutoMapper: Mapping between a IDataReader and DTO object

another good post with examples on naming convention mappings: http://blog.ac-graphic.net/automapping-c-objects-from-one-naming-convention-to-an-other/

The closes thing I could find is the the naming convention configurations: https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/wiki/Configuration#naming-conventions

At the Profile or Mapper level you can specify the source and destination naming conventions:

Mapper.Initialize(cfg => {
  cfg.SourceMemberNamingConvention = new LowerUnderscoreNamingConvention();
  cfg.DestinationMemberNamingConvention = new PascalCaseNamingConvention();
});

Or:

public class OrganizationProfile : Profile 
{
  public OrganizationProfile() 
  {
    SourceMemberNamingConvention = new LowerUnderscoreNamingConvention();
    DestinationMemberNamingConvention = new PascalCaseNamingConvention();
    //Put your CreateMap... Etc.. here
  }
}
