Automap IList<T> as list (instead of bag) as a convention

Hi there,

I have a criteria where it would be a great help, if IList was mapped as list instead of bag.
Is it possible to define a convention for this?

public class ListConvention : IHasManyConvention, IHasManyConventionAcceptance
{

public void Apply(IOneToManyCollectionInstance instance)
{
    // use list instead of bag
}

public void Accept(IAcceptanceCriteria<IOneToManyCollectionInspector> criteria)
{
    // my criteria
}

}

With ClassMap its possible to say "AsList()", but I cant locate something equal with the automapper.

    This is a known limitation unfortunately. Until we change how the different
    collection types are implemented, you won't be able to do this.

    Is it possible to do in some ugly way on the current exposed interfaces? The criteria is not important.

    IAutomappingOverridr<T> will allow you to do it on a per-entity basis, but it won't be nice.

    This is quite a high priority change for the next release.

    I am always looking forward to new releases of cool projects like FNH :-)

    I can override automap of a base type and implement my criteria with some reflection magic and then call the AsList() when needed. Would you agree that this could be a (very ugly) possible solution for now?

    In theory, that sounds like it'd work :)

    I've just started work on fixing this issue, but it may take a little while
    as it does require some significant restructuring internally.
