IoC with AutoMapper Profile using Autofac
- by DownChapel
I have been using AutoMapper for some time now. I have a profile setup like so:
public class ViewModelAutoMapperConfiguration : Profile
{
protected override string ProfileName
{
get { return "ViewModel"; }
}
protected override void Configure()
{
AddFormatter<HtmlEncoderFormatter>();
CreateMap<IUser, UserViewModel>();
}
}
I add this to the mapper using the following call:
Mapper.Initialize(x => x.AddProfile<ViewModelAutoMapperConfiguration>());
However, I now want to pass a dependency into the ViewModelAutoMapperConfiguration constructor using IoC. I am using Autofac. I have been reading through the article here: http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/jimmy_bogard/archive/2009/05/11/automapper-and-ioc.aspx but I can't see how this would work with Profiles.
Any ideas?
Thanks
