I'm using AutoMapper to copy an entity framework object to another identical database. The problem is that it tries to copy the lookup tables.
I have tried to exclude them with the AddGlobalIgnore and the ShouldMapProperty but it doesn't work. AutoMapper still try to copy those properties.
Here's my code. I would like to ignore the properties that start with "LU"
dynamic newObject= new NewObject();
MapperConfiguration config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
{
cfg.CreateMissingTypeMaps = true;
cfg.AddGlobalIgnore("LU");
cfg.ShouldMapProperty = p => !p.GetType().ToString().StartsWith("LU");
cfg.ShouldMapField = p => !p.GetType().ToString().StartsWith("LU");
});
IMapper mapper = config.CreateMapper();
newObject = mapper.Map(objectToCopy, objectToCopy.GetType(), newObject.GetType());
I did also tried
MapperConfiguration config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
{
cfg.CreateMissingTypeMaps = true;
cfg.AddGlobalIgnore("LU");
cfg.ShouldMapProperty = p => !p.PropertyType.Name.StartsWith("LU");
cfg.ShouldMapField = p => !p.FieldType.Name.StartsWith("LU");
});
and
MapperConfiguration config = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
{
cfg.CreateMissingTypeMaps = true;
cfg.AddGlobalIgnore("LU");
cfg.ShouldMapProperty = p => !p.Name.StartsWith("LU");
cfg.ShouldMapField = p => !p.Name.StartsWith("LU");
});
