@waveyus Looks like you are really close to having it solved. Have you tried something similar to the following? .BeforeMap((s,d) => attendee = Container.GetInstance().GetByIds(s))

In Sample 2, AttendeeProfile.cs, line 21:

.BeforeMap((s, d) => attendee = new AttendeeRepository().GetById(s))

Can you show an example if we wanted to inject repository instance using IoC?( IAttendeeRepository.GetByIds(s))

Thanks.

@dario-g We have several domains/bounded contexts, with a mixture of anemic and strong models (by design). Your question is a bit anemic...can you put some context around it so that I might provide a more relevant answer?

Do you have Anemic Domain-Model?

@KevDog Thanks for pointing out the problem with the link to the second sample. It is fixed now.

@Dan If I only want 3 properties, then I would definitely drop the other 7, especially before sending data across a service boundary. If my identity map already has the entity in memory (1st or 2nd level cache), I don't need to worry about a call to the db. It seems that you may be hinting at premature optimization. Remember, this is a sample project to show capability, not architecture. On a real project, I can optimize my queries when the need arises. Richard

Both sample links point to the same file.

But then, I will probably only have time to look at the first one anyway. Regardless, thanks for the work you did on these. AutoMapper has definitely become one of my favorite libraries.

What about the case when the domain object has, say 10 properties and the dto has 3?
_repository.GetMeetingById(meetingId; would generate a select with 10 fields and discard 7 of them…
