Create mapper for ValueConverter about detached-mapper HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello @tarockx
Sorry for the long delay, I've been away from dev due to a family health issue.
You are right, anything that is not a Primitive, a Nullable or a Collection is threated like a Complex, and Complex are References in EF.
I need to write a mapper for ValueConverter, will do this weekend if I manage to have some free time.

Any news on this?

Totally 100% sorry! This year has been a nightmare for me.
At this point you probably don't need this anymore or just gave up the library, but thanks for the feedback.

You are right, the mapper is trying to handle Foos as a collection of entities.. but I was only able to reproduce it if Foo is an entity: i.e.: there is a DbSet Foos property in the DbContext.

Anyway I added a new annotation [Primitive]. It forces the mapper to copy objects and collections from the source to the target property without attempting to perform any mapping.

For now, it only works for the same clr type: i.e.: Foo to Foo, not FooDTO to FooEntity.
here you can see a test using it. If you remove [Primitive] from Tags property of Address object, the error you mentioned can be reproduced.

This is for > 7.1.4

Thanks again.

Thanks for the update! I've tested and it seems to be working without issues, great job 👍
