Automapper: how to ignore a member in VB.NET

Question

I use Automapper in a VB.NET project and try to ignore it. I see how to do this in C #, but not in VB.NET. Does anyone have a quick example of using the ForMember method.

Thank,

Floor

Answer 1

Here is how you do it :)

Mapper.CreateMap(Of incomingModel, outgoingModel)().ForMember(Function(x) x.FieldToIgnore, Sub(y) y.Ignore())

The thing that is important and probably what messed you up is the Sub instead of the function for the second part.

this also only works in vs2010. older versions you cannot do.

Answer 2

Now (AutoMapper 2.0) there is an IgnoreMap attribute.
