How to scan and auto-configure profiles in AutoMapper?

Question

Is there any way to auto-configue Automapper to scan for all profiles in namespace/assembly? What I would like to do is to add mapping profiles to AutoMapper from given assembly filtered by given interface, something like Scan Conventions in StructureMap:

    public static void Configure()     {         ObjectFactory.Initialize(x =>             {                 // Scan Assembly                 x.Scan(                     scanner =>                     {                         scanner.TheCallingAssembly();                         scanner.Convention<MyCustomConvention>();                         scanner.WithDefaultConventions();                     });                  // Add Registries                 x.AddRegistry(new SomeRegistry());             });          Debug.WriteLine(ObjectFactory.WhatDoIHave());     }  public class MyCustomConvention : IRegistrationConvention {     public void Process(Type type, Registry registry)     {         if (!type.CanBeCastTo(typeof(IMyType)))         {             return;         }          string name = type.Name.Replace("SomeRubishName", String.Empty);         registry.AddType(typeof(IMyType), type, name);                 } 

I've tried to use SelfConfigure but can't find any documentation on how to use it to filter out profiles:

    public static void Configure()     {         Mapper.Initialize(x =>                               {                                   // My Custom profile                                   x.AddProfile<MyMappingProfile>();                                    // Scan Assembly                                   x.SelfConfigure(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly());                               });     } 

Another question is how can I report all maps/profiles already initialized (something like ObjectFactory.WhatDoIHave() in StructureMap)?

I found this post while searching as well, but this is how I implemented an auto mapping scheme:

public class MyCustomMap : Profile {     protected override void Configure()     {         CreateMap<MyCustomViewModel, MyCustomObject>()             .ForMember(dest => dest.Phone,                         opt => opt.MapFrom(                         src => src.PhoneAreaCode + src.PhoneFirstThree + src.PhoneLastFour));     } }  public static class AutoMapperConfiguration {     public static void Configure()     {         Mapper.Initialize(x => GetConfiguration(Mapper.Configuration));     }      private static void GetConfiguration(IConfiguration configuration)     {         var profiles = typeof(MyCustomMap).Assembly.GetTypes().Where(x => typeof(Profile).IsAssignableFrom(x));         foreach (var profile in profiles)         {             configuration.AddProfile(Activator.CreateInstance(profile) as Profile);         }     } } 

So when my application starts, all I call is

AutoMapperConfiguration.Configure();  

And all my maps are registered.

In the latest versions of AutoMapper it's possible to register multiple Profile scanning one or more assemblies :

 Mapper.Initialize(x => x.AddProfiles(typeof(MyMappingProfile).Assembly)); 

Tested with AutoMapper v. 6.0.2.0
