Automapper missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping (automapper 6.1.1)

Question

This is what I am trying to do and getting exception on this very line:

Mapper.Map<CreditCard>(cardVM);

While other mappings are working perfectly but these two entities aren't here's models of both :

[Serializable]
    public class CreditCard : BaseEntity
    {
        public long UserId { get; set; }
        public string BankToken { get; set; }
        public string CardNumber { get; set; }
        public User User { get; set; }
    }


[Serializable]
    public class CreditCardVM
    {
        public Guid? UID { get; set; }
        public long UserId { get; set; }
        public string BankToken { get; set; }
        public string CardNumber { get; set; }
        public string PaymentMethodUId { get; set; }
        public User User { get; set; } 
    }

But still getting exception "Automapper missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping"

Answer 1

What about checking Automapper configurations initiation, maybe your mappings configutations are not initialized.

So, check the application start configuration in your startup project, like in web application you have to check "application_start in Global.asax"

protected void Application_Start()
{
    AutoMapperConfigurator.Initialize();
}

Thanks guys , but here is what I missed .

public class CreditCardAutoMapperProfile : Profile
    {
        public CreditCardAutoMapperProfile()
        {
            CreateMap<Data.Entities.CreditCard, CreditCardVM>();
        }
    }

And it starts working :)
