Multiple mappings for the same type using AutoMapper

Question

I need help with my mapper program. i have two types (Lets say A and B)and i want to have two different mappings. In one method i want to use the first mapping between A and B and in other method i want to take the second.

I saw that "Mapper" Class is static, so i can't use CreateMap twice.

Is this possible?

thanks.

Instead of using the static Mapper class, you can create different instances of the underlying MappingEngine and configuration classes. Then you can configure the instances differently.
