Starting with AutoMapper

Question

I found Automapper quite interesting from the concept. However, I am trying to burn (or heat) my fingers. Can someone help me get started with this? I still do not understand where I can start for this. I would like to write code from scratch (and not use a sample of others) and then do it. Gradual manual work will be the most welcome help.

As Darin said, the first thing to do is the AutoMapper homepage and documentation. If you need something like How To, I would suggest you this article: http://jasona.wordpress.com/2010/02/05/getting-started-with-automapper/ and here is an example of how to map models in ASp.Net MVC → http://www.bengtbe.com/blog/post/2009/04/14/Using-AutoMapper-to-map-view-models-in-ASPNET-MVC.aspx

Hope that helps you a bit; -9
