I am having a bit of a problem using AutoMapper with some Configuration Elements. I have the following classes:

public class SocialLinkSettingConfiguration : ConfigurationSection
{
    [ConfigurationProperty("name", IsRequired = true, IsKey = true)]
    public string Name
    {
        get { return this["name"] as string; }
        set { this["name"] = value; }
    }
    [ConfigurationProperty("description", IsRequired = true)]
    public string Description
    {
        get { return this["description"] as string; }
        set { this["description"] = value; }
    }
    [ConfigurationProperty("url", IsRequired = true)]
    public string Url
    {
        get { return this["url"] as string; }
        set { this["url"] = value; }
    }
    [ConfigurationProperty("fontAwesomeClass", IsRequired = false)]
    public string FontAwesomeClass
    {
        get { return this["fontAwesomeClass"] as string; }
        set { this["fontAwesomeClass"] = value; }
    }
    [ConfigurationProperty("imageUrl", IsRequired = false)]
    public string ImageUrl
    {
        get { return this["imageUrl"] as string; }
        set { this["imageUrl"] = value; }
    }
}

public class SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection
{
    public SocialLinkSettingConfiguration this[int index]
    {
        get { return (SocialLinkSettingConfiguration)BaseGet(index); }
        set
        {
            if (BaseGet(index) != null)
            {
                BaseRemoveAt(index);
            }
            BaseAdd(index, value);
        }
    }
    public void Add(SocialLinkSettingConfiguration serviceConfig)
    {
        BaseAdd(serviceConfig);
    }

    public void Clear()
    {
        BaseClear();
    }

    protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
    {
        return new SocialLinkSettingConfiguration();
    }

    protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
    {
        return ((SocialLinkSettingConfiguration)element).Name;
    }

    public void Remove(SocialLinkSettingConfiguration serviceConfig)
    {
        BaseRemove(serviceConfig.Name);
    }

    public void RemoveAt(int index)
    {
        BaseRemoveAt(index);
    }

    public void Remove(string name)
    {
        BaseRemove(name);
    }
}
public class SocialLinkSetting
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string Url { get; set; }
    public string FontAwesomeClass { get; set; }
    public string ImageUrl { get; set; }
}

I can create a mapping between SocialLinkSetting and SocialLinkSettingConfiguration just fine. However, when I am trying to convert a list of SocialLinkSetting to SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection, I fail every time.

What I am trying to do is take a list of Social Links, and convert it to a single SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection object that has all of the SocialLinkSetting inside and converted to SocialLinkSettingConfiguration.

I can't seem to do this. Each time, it doesn't know how to convert List to the SocialLinkSettingConfigurationCollection, then add each of the items.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ben
