AutoMapper with IList

Question

I have Article class with property ``` private IList _tags; public virtual IList Tags { get{ if(_tags == null) _tags = TagService.GetTags(this); return _tags; } } ``` Since there is no SET for Tags automapper will not set tags when mapping from viewmodel to view. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Try using the UseDestinationValue option:

ForMember(dest => dest.Tags, opt => opt.UseDestinationValue());

In the latest DLL on the trunk, AutoMapper should pick up readonly list-type members.
