Automapper expression must resolve to top-level member

Viewed 23224

I am using automapper to map source and destination objects. While I map them I get the below error.

Expression must resolve to top-level member. Parameter name: lambdaExpression

I am not able resolve the issue.

My source and destination objects are:

public partial class Source
{
        private Car[] cars;

        public Car[] Cars
        {
            get { return this.cars; }
            set { this.cars = value; }
        }
}

public partial class Destination
{
        private OutputData output;

        public OutputData Output
        {            
            get {  return this.output; }
            set {  this.output= value; }
        }
}

public class OutputData
{
        private List<Cars> cars;

        public Car[] Cars
        {
            get { return this.cars; }
            set { this.cars = value; }
        }
}

I have to map Source.Cars with Destination.OutputData.Cars object. Could you please help me in this?

This worked for me:

Mapper.CreateMap<Destination, Source>()
    .ForMember(x => x.Cars, x => x.MapFrom(y => y.OutputData.Cars))
    .ReverseMap();
