Use Automapper exception?

Question

Using mvc5 with an automaton, I follow:

In the controller:

  [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult LunchMenu_Create_Index(VmSysMenuCreate menu)
        {
            try
            {
                var domainMenu = Mapper.Map<VmSysMenuCreate, Menu>(menu);
            }

            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                return Content("Error msg");
            }

            return Content("Succes");
        }

Mapping:

  Mapper.CreateMap<VmSysMenuCreate, Menu>()
                .ForMember(c => c.Id, op => op.MapFrom(v => v.Id))
                .ForMember(c => c.MenuDate, op => op.ResolveUsing(data =>
                {
                    try
                    {
                        DateTime convertedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(data);
                        return convertedDate;
                    }
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    {

                        throw new Exception("Date not in correct format", ex);
                    }

                }));

By doing this, I was allowed to catch the automapper error when trying to match my objects, but this does not work as I expected.

How can I catch an error in the controller that is being thrown from automapper? If you have any questions, ask me. Thank you for the attention!

Not sure, but you probably have the CLR Exceptions option released.

Select "Exceptions ..." in the "Debug" menu. (or press CTRL+ ALT+ E)
