How can I map between two enums using Automapper?

Question

I have a public facing interface that I'm trying to map two different enumerations to each other. I tried to use the following code:

Mapper.CreateMap<Contract_1_1_0.ValidationResultType, Common.ValidationResultType>(); 

When that didn't work, I tried:

Mapper.CreateMap<Contract_1_1_0.ValidationResultType, Common.ValidationResultType>().ConvertUsing(x => (Common.ValidationResultType)((int)x)); 

But that doesn't seem to work either. Is there anyway to get automapper to handle this scenario?

Alternatively to writing custom converters, just use ConvertUsing()

Mapper.CreateMap<EnumSrc, EnumDst>().ConvertUsing((value, destination) =>  {     switch(value)     {         case EnumSrc.Option1:             return EnumDst.Choice1;         case EnumSrc.Option2:             return EnumDst.Choice2;         case EnumSrc.Option3:             return EnumDst.Choice3;         default:             return EnumDst.None;     } });
