I used auto mapper to map some type of object to another type of object. I have to use some customer mappers to map different object models. For this task I tried to write custom mapper as below

namespace Animal.DTO.Mappers
public class CatMapper:Profile
{
    public CatMapper()
    {
        CreateMap<WildCat,CatDto>()
        .ForMember(a=>a.id,op=>op.MapFrom(x=>x.Cats.Id)
    }
}

If here Cats objects from source object is list of object, this id mapper is not working. That's what I want to solve. Do you have any suggestion to find proper mapping between those to models? Following are the domain object models

public class Cat{
public int Id { get; set; }
}
public class CatDto{
public int Id { get; set; }
}
public class WildCat{
public IList<Cat> cats { get; set; }
}

It's not clear what you're trying to achieve here, can you include the code for your models in the question – John M Nov 14 '19 at 10:30

Can you post the WildCat and CatDto classes and explain what property from WildCat you want to map to CatDto? – dariogriffo Nov 14 '19 at 11:26

So what is the expected result ,which id you want in a list object – Nan Yu Nov 15 '19 at 01:57
Cat list id from the object – Kelum Sampath Edirisinghe Nov 15 '19 at 04:26
cat list contains multi cat object and have multi ID , which one you want to map ? Or you want to map all ids from WildCat to sring ID which split by `,` ? – Nan Yu Nov 15 '19 at 06:55
problem solved by my self. thanks for commented – Kelum Sampath Edirisinghe Nov 16 '19 at 07:39
