    <p>I have a weird case and I'm pretty new to AutoMapper and I can't understand what's happening.</p> <p>I have two classes</p> <pre><code>public class Person { public List&lt;Friend&gt; Friends {get;set;} } public class PersonView : Person { public new List&lt;FriendView&gt; Friends {get;set;} } </code></pre> <p>and the map</p> <pre><code>Mapper.CreateMap&lt;Person, PersonView&gt;().ForMember(d =&gt; d.Friends, o =&gt; o.ResolveUsing&lt;FriendViewResolver&gt;().FromMember(s =&gt; s.Friends)); </code></pre> <p>but, I also have this map, which has its own mapping:</p> <pre><code>Mapper.CreateMap&lt;Friend, FriendView&gt;().ForMember(/* a lot of stuff */); </code></pre> <p>Now, Inside FriendViewResolver - I'm calling <code>Mapper.Map&lt;Friend, FriendView&gt;()</code> for each of the friends. But for some reason after it runs, some of the properties get lost and from stepping over the code, it seems AutoMapper does a second pass on the list.</p> <p>I want to have the <code>FriendViewResolver</code> run on the list, because it is doing recursive stuff with the entire collection of <code>Friends</code>, but I don't understand why AM does a second pass if there's a resolver rule for the member.</p> <p>I really hope it makes sense.</p> <p>EDIT: the problem happens when I run <code>Mapper.Map&lt;Person, PersonView&gt;();</code>, I see it runs <code>FriendViewResolver</code> and has correct result, but next step in the debugger runs the maps again and messes up the already mapped objects.</p>

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.
