C# – Ignore mapping one property with Automapper

automappercmodelobject-object-mappingviewmodel

I'm using Automapper and I have the following scenario:
Class OrderModel has a property called 'ProductName' that isn't in the database.
So when I try to do the mapping with:

Mapper.CreateMap<OrderModel, Orders>();

It generates an exception :

"The following 1 properties on Project.ViewModels.OrderModel are not mapped: 'ProductName'

I've read at AutoMapper's Wiki for Projections the opposite case (the extra attribute is on the destination, not in the source which is actually my case )

How can I avoid automapper to make the mapping of this property?

From Jimmy Bogard: CreateMap<Foo, Bar>().ForMember(x => x.Blarg, opt => opt.Ignore());

It's in one of the comments at his blog.

UPDATE(from Jamie's comment Jan 4 '19 at 11:11:)

Ignore has been replaced with DoNotValidate in ForSourceMember: https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper/blob/master/docs/8.0-Upgrade-Guide.md

C# – the best way to give a C# auto-property an initial value

In C# 5 and earlier, to give auto implemented properties an initial value, you have to do it in a constructor.

Since C# 6.0, you can specify initial value in-line. The syntax is:

public int X { get; set; } = x; // C# 6 or higher

DefaultValueAttribute is intended to be used by the VS designer (or any other consumer) to specify a default value, not an initial value. (Even if in designed object, initial value is the default value).

At compile time DefaultValueAttribute will not impact the generated IL and it will not be read to initialize the property to that value (see DefaultValue attribute is not working with my Auto Property).

Example of attributes that impact the IL are ThreadStaticAttribute, CallerMemberNameAttribute, ...

Javascript – Hide line in default state in Highcharts

Oh, I found it, hope the solution will save time for someone. Use visible:false in series defenition

series: [{
           name: 'MyHiddenLine',
           data: [1,2,3],
           visible: false
        },
