Inject service into an AutoMapper destination class

Say I have a source and de开发者_运维百科stination class that is mapped using AutoMapper. The destination has a logger service injected into the constructor.

However, I don't know how to get the service injected into the constructor through StructureMap?

I've tried the following:

Mapper.Initialize(m =>
 {                
    m.ConstructServicesUsing(ObjectFactory.GetInstance);
 });

which didn't prevent me having the exception on the mapping call, I guess because the service isn't being injected in properly.

I also tried the following:

CreateMap<Source, Dest>()
 .ConstructUsing(x=> ObjectFactory.GetInstance<ILoggerService>());

But I get the error: cannot convert Lamda expression to delegate type, yet all the examples I have seen use this method?

The lambda you pass into ConstructUsing must return an instance of the destination type. So in your case, you would want to do this:

CreateMap<Source, Dest>()  
.ConstructUsing(x=> ObjectFactory.GetInstance<Dest>());

Assuming you have StructureMap setup correctly, it should create the Dest object and inject the ILoggerService for you.

You can also do this:

        Mapper.Configuration.ConstructServicesUsing(container.Resolve);

        Mapper.CreateMap<Source, Dest>().ConstructUsingServiceLocator();
