Automapper: Mapping objects Part 2 of 7 (Flattening by Convention)

Taswar Bhatti March 8, 2011 2 Comments

In this part I will be showing how Automapper uses flattening by convention. If we look at our OrderDto we will see that it has a IEnumerable of OrderItemsDto and also something called OrderNumber. This is the type of object we want to send to our presentation layer.

 public class OrderDto
    {
        public string CustomerName { get; set; }
        public decimal Total { get; set; }
        public string OrderNumber { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<OrderItemsDto> LineItems { get; set; }
    }

public class OrderDto

{

public string CustomerName { get; set; }

public decimal Total { get; set; }

public string OrderNumber { get; set; }

public IEnumerable<OrderItemsDto> LineItems { get; set; }

}

Compare that to our domain object […]

Automapper: Mapping objects Part 1 of 7 (NullSubstitution)

Recently I gave a talk on Automapper in Ottawa .Net Community, so I though I would post the main ideas of the presentation here also. The demo was based on an Order System where there were just 3 tables/classes, “Order”, “Customer” and “OrderItems” From the diagram we can see that a Customer has a Bio […]

You are here beacause you probably got a Linq error, specifically Operator ‘==’ cannot be applied to operands of type ‘System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair‘ and ‘‘ So if you wish to do something like this to KeyValuePair using Linq

var item = myDictionary.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Key == 123);
if(item != null)
{
 //blah blah

}

Stubbing out ServiceLocator for unit testing

Taswar Bhatti June 30, 2010 2 Comments

There are certainly many ways to stub out dependency, using constructor injection, etc etc. Here is one way to quickly stub out ServiceLocator rather than implementing ServiceLocatorStub. Lets say you have code that uses a helper and the dependency is not quite the responsibility of that object but its the sub object that uses it. […]

There are tones of blog post out there on how to redirect http to https. As in when a user request for http://myserver.com/Login.aspx they will be redirected to https://myserver.com/Login.aspx One can do it with IIS but I find that way a bit ugly since you have to create another site and set the 403 to […]
