    <p>I'm trying to find a way for Automapper to pick the destination type of a call to map, based on an Enum value set in the Source type...</p> <p>e.g. Given the following classes:</p> <pre><code>public class Organisation { public string Name {get;set;} public List&lt;Metric&gt; Metrics {get;set;} } public class Metric { public int NumericValue {get;set;} public string TextValue {get;set;} public MetricType MetricType {get;set;} } public enum MetricType { NumericMetric, TextMetric } </code></pre> <p>If I have the following object:</p> <pre><code>var Org = new Organisation { Name = "MyOrganisation", Metrics = new List&lt;Metric&gt;{ new Metric { Type=MetricType.TextMetric, TextValue = "Very Good!" }, new Metric { Type=MetricType.NumericMetric, NumericValue = 10 } } } </code></pre> <p>Now, I want to map this to to a viewmodel representation of it which has the classes:</p> <pre><code>public class OrganisationViewModel { public string Name {get;set;} public List&lt;IMetricViewModels&gt; Metrics {get;set;} } public NumericMetric : IMetricViewModels { public int Value {get;set;} } public TextMetric : IMetricViewModels { public string Value {get;set;} } </code></pre> <p>The call to AutoMapper.Map will result in an OrganisationViewModel containing one NumericMetric and one TextMetric. </p> <p>The Automapper call:</p> <pre><code>var vm = Automapper.Map&lt;Organisation, OrganisationViewModel&gt;(Org); </code></pre> <p>How would I go about Configuring Automapper to support this? Is this possible? (I hope this question is clear)</p> <p>Thanks! </p>

    1. COI keep looking at this and keep coming back to `Metric<T>` instead of two types. For instance how do you have both `int Value` and `string Value` both implement IMetricViewModels. What does your interface look like?

    2. COHi, The example is much simpler than the actual problem, there are quite a lot of different types in MetricType all containing various different things. The interface is empty, and only there to allow me to have a list of things which will all resolve to a different view templates. (MVC app... Html.DisplayFor(Organisation.Metrics) will result in a list of 6 or 7 different templates). Does that make sense or should I expand the question?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
