ForAllOtherMembers removed

[jeparrish]

With the latest version, ForAllOtherMembers was removed. I understand the usage of the "MemberList.None", but I am doing conditions in ForAllOtherMembers and only mapping if the value is not null. How would I accomplish this now without have to map every single member?

.ForMember(dest => dest.PhoneNumbers, opt => opt.Ignore()) .ForAllOtherMembers(opts => opts.Condition((src, dest, srcMember) => srcMember != null) )

You can use ForAllMembers and check the member. Or you can implement ForAllOtherMembers in your own code. Whatever you need in AM for that, we can expose somehow.
That being said, this kind of mapping is not that useful. Because when someone adds a new member, it's difficult to understand what's going on. It won't end well.

OK, maybe I am gonna put here an example and you might tell me if I am missing something:

public class MyDto
    {
        public Guid Id { get; set; }

        public string A { get; set; }

        public string B { get; set; }
    }

    public class MyA
    {
        public Guid Id { get; set; }

        public string A { get; set; }
    }

    public class MyB
    {
        public Guid Id { get; set; }

        public string B { get; set; }
    }

CreateMap<MyA, MyDto>();
CreateMap<MyB, MyDto>(); // SKIP mapping "Id" here but map "B".

This is a super simple example which could be easily solved by adding ForMember Id Ignore() but let's say that there is multiple properties that match this way and I want to skip mapping them without adding too many ignores. From my testing "MemberList.None" doesn't do anything good in here. Maybe there is something I missed and this can be easily achieved?

You're going against AM's very purpose. But if you must, there is nothing stopping you from writing an Ignore function that takes a bunch of property names.

[JakubHolovsky]

Got it. However still relies on me providing a property list. My aim here is to Map only what I defined and nothing else. From your know how. Can I get the mapped properties in a list so I can just check what I have mapping for? So that way I can simply ignore the ones that are not in my mapped list?

I saw bunch of examples but they no longer work.

I guess I am kind of going in circles and wanting to have something like "IgnoreWithoutExplicitMapping" which I believe was once in AM but no longer is.

We are not going to help you shoot yourself in the foot. But good luck with that :)

Yes, this is a mapping situation we don't want to support. AutoMapper is about enforcing conventions, you're saying "don't have conventions", which is the antithesis of what AutoMapper is designed for. So we're being very judicious about supporting features that align with the design philosophy.
