Automapper.Mappers.DataReaderMapper is not being loaded

[kdajani]

Anyone or any suggestions on how to fix this? How can I ensure DataReaderMapper gets loaded?

Thanks!

When you deploy the app, is AutoMapper.Net4.dll deployed as well?

I just created a deployment package and that dll is not in there. Only AutoMapper.dll. The project is targeting .NET Framework 4.5, Any CPU and Release mode.

When I look at the both dll's properties in the project they appear the same: Aliases: Global, Copy Local: True, Embed Enterop Types: False.

When I look at their path [ProjectPath]packages\AutoMapper.3.3.1\lib\net40\ Both dll's are in that folder.

You need to make sure the AutoMapper.Net4.dll is included in the deployment
package.

OK. I'm all about that. I don't have any project settings that would exclude that from happening. I installed AutoMapper using NuGet. Why would it not just include that dll automatically?

By the way, great tool! Thank you for it!

It doesn't because MSBuild doesn't recognize the DLL being used.

Try doing something stupid like "var type = typeof(DataReaderMapper)"
somewhere, that forces the DLL to be used and copied.

Finally got it to work on the server followed this recommendation:

1. Add the missing DLL to the project as a Linked File.
2. On the file properties, Copy To Output Directory, select If Newer.

All works fine now. Thanks again!
