How to Map String Literal to Destination Property

automapper, automapper-2

Solution

Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.Member, opt => opt.UseValue<string>("THIS STRING"));

Starting with version 8.0 you have to use the following:

Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.Member, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => "THIS STRING"));

Problem

I'd like to be able to do something like this using automapper: ``` Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Destination>() .ForMember<d => d.Member, "THIS STRING">(); ``` I'd like `d.Member` to always be `"THIS STRING"` and not be mapped from any particular member from the source model. Putting a string field in the source model with `"THIS STRING"` as it's value is also not an option. Does AutoMapper support these kinds of things in any way?
