AutoMapper Implementation (Post Static Api)

Question

Having some problems with this. It seems that the original design was easy to use, but there are so many ways to implement this in a new design without a static Api. I do not find a single method that would be clear. Many videos and tutorials started to end, but with code syntax that I just don't know.

I just started creating a new application and I want to implement it from the very beginning, if possible.

Can someone give a detailed example of how to implement this from scratch with the next starting point? I understand that the example is so simple that it doesn’t need an automapper

Using MVC w / Code First and EF

Model example

public class Person
{
    public int id { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
    public DateTime created { get;set;
}

ViewModel Example

public class User
{        
    public string name { get; set; }        
}

Controller example - (bit coarse :))

using AutoMapper;
......
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddUser(User user)
{

    Person person = new Person();
    person.name = user.name;
    person.created = DateTime.Now;

    db.Persons.Add(person);
    db.SaveChanges();
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

I just want to display the name field in this example from ViewModel to Model.

  Mapper.Initialize(cfg => cfg.CreateMap<Order, OrderDto>());

  Mapper.Initialize(cfg => cfg.CreateMap<User, Person>()); // this is what i did in the controller and Global.asax which isnt valid

  OrderDto dto = Mapper.Map<OrderDto>(order);

Answer 2

Glabal.asax, . :

  Mapper.Initialize(config =>
            {
               config.CreateMap<User, Person>().ReverseMap();                  
            });

ReverseMap() , .

name User Person.

Conrtoller Mapper :

User userViewModel = Mapper.Map<User>(person);

Mapper.Map .
