Automapper 9 Configuration

Question

In previous versions of AutoMapper I used to be able to configure AutoMapper like this:

public static class AutoMapperFactory
{
    public static IConfigurationProvider CreateMapperConfiguration()
    {
        var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
        {
            //Scan *.UI assembly for AutoMapper Profiles
            var assembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(AutoMapperFactory));

            cfg.AddProfiles(assembly);

            cfg.IgnoreAllUnmapped();
        });

        return config;
    }
}

Now, the line that says cfg.AddProfiles(assembly) is giving me the error: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'System.Reflection.Assembly' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<AutoMapper.Profile>

How can I get an IEnumerable<AutoMapper.Profile> to pass as a parameter for AddProfiles?

I saw that, but it just says "myAssembly" as the parameter. Isn't that the same as `assembly` for me? — Andrew, Nov 19 '19 at 13:33
It seems this `cfg.AddProfiles(assembly);` turned into this `cfg.AddMaps(assembly);` — Eldar, Nov 19 '19 at 13:44

You can use the addMaps, instead of addProfile, like this:

public static class AutoMapperFactory
{
    public static IConfigurationProvider CreateMapperConfiguration()
    {
        var config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
        {
            //Scan *.UI assembly for AutoMapper Profiles
            var assembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(AutoMapperFactory));

            cfg.AddMaps(assembly);

            cfg.IgnoreAllUnmapped();
        });

        return config;
    }
}

As stated in the documentation:

Configuration inside a profile only applies to maps inside the profile. Configuration applied to the root configuration applies to all maps created.

And can be created as classes with specific type maps.

Any ideas on how to tell one profile to use another profile for one of its properties? — John Demetriou, Sep 11 '20 at 08:43
