Sometimes, I need to map from a Domain entitiy to a ViewModel - to display information. Other times, I need to map from a ViewModel to a Domain entity - for persistance of data. Is this kosher or does this code smell? protected void Application_Start() { AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); MapObjects(); RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters); RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); } private void MapObjects() { Mapper.CreateMap<UserModel, User>(); Mapper.CreateMap<ProductBrandModel, ProductBrand>(); Mapper.CreateMap<ProductBrand, ProductBrandModel>(); Mapper.CreateMap<ProductCategoryModel, ProductCategory>(); Mapper.CreateMap<ProductCategory, ProductCategoryModel>(); }
