I am working on a project where I need to work with C # Async programming. I use Automapper to map between Model and ViewModel. For Async data, I created a map method as follows:
public static async Task<IEnumerable<PersonView>> ModelToViewModelCollectionAsync(this Task<IEnumerable<Person>> persons)
{
return await Mapper.Map<Task<IEnumerable<Person>>, Task<IEnumerable<PersonView>>>(persons);
}
And I called this matching method as follows (in my service class):
public async Task<IEnumerable<PersonView>> GetAllAsync()
{
return await _personRepository.GetAllAsync("DisplayAll").ModelToViewModelCollectionAsync();
}
Finally, I called my class of service inside the controller.
public async Task<ActionResult> Index()
{
return View(await PersonFacade.GetAllAsync());
}
But when I run the project, it shows me the following exception
Missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping.
Mapping types:
Task`1 -> Task`1
System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[[System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[[PF.Model.Person, PF.Model, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]], mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]] -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[[System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[[PF.Services.ViewModel.PersonView, PF.Services, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]], mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]
Destination path:
Task`1
Source value:
System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[PF.Model.Person]]
According to my project architecture, automapper cannot be avoided.
Note. My repository method for getall is as follows:
public virtual async Task<IEnumerable<T>> GetAllAsync(string storedProcedure)
{
return await _conn.QueryAsync<T>(storedProcedure);
}
