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


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




This maybe deserves a better answer. So let me explain. In Visual Studio Code you have to set up your startup projects all in the launch.json and the tasks.json files.

Here is a small detailed introduction: 



Choose a root project folder (i.e.: D:/anyfolder/myrootfolder) 

Create two folders for two projects in the root folder

2.1 D:/anyfolder/myrootfolder/project1 

2.2 D:/anyfolder/myrootfolder/project2 

Open cmd and create two Console-Applications (I use .netcore 2.0) 

3.1 go to folders project1 and project2 using cmd (Command: cd -foldername-) 

3.2 for each of that folders execute the command: dotnet new console 

Open the root project folder with Visual Studio Code 

Add the following launch.json and tasks.json to the .vscode folder (usually the .vscode folder is generated after clicked the debug-button in VS Code) 

For More information visit:https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging


Sample launch.json file:


Sample tasks.json file:


Don't forget that I used .netcore 2.0. If you use another Target Framework you have to customize the upper sample files of course.

After all you should now see two items in right of the Play(Debug-)button: 

.NET Core Launch Project1 and 

.NET Core Launch Project2

This worked for me and my purposes...
