How do I configure AutoMapper in my .NET application?

To configure AutoMapper, you need to create a mapping profile. You can do this by creating a class that inherits from Profile.

What does the mapping profile look like?

A mapping profile typically includes CreateMap<TSource, TDestination>() methods to define the mappings between your source and destination types.

Can you show me an example of a mapping profile?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public class MappingProfile : Profile
{
    public MappingProfile()
    {
        CreateMap<Source, Destination>();
    }
}

How do I initialize AutoMapper with this profile?

You can initialize AutoMapper in your Startup.cs file by calling services.AddAutoMapper(typeof(MappingProfile)); in the ConfigureServices method.
