Is it possible to Automap from multiple assemblies?

I found some postings that indicate

AutoPersistanceModel.AddEntityAssembly()

might let me do this, but have been unable to make it work.

If this is possible, can anyone supply a code fragment that shows how to automap from multiple assemblies, or point me to an example that works?

Thanks,

   Yeah, that's always been an awkward thing to do; and as usual, as something that I don't personally do, it hasn't been high on the priority list as far as things to fix go.

   I've just committed a fix, and if you're able to update to the latest source you'll be able to take advantage of it.

   AutoMap.Assemblies(assemblyOne, assemblyTwo); // params
   AutoMap.Assemblies(assembliesCollection);
   

   If you're unable to update, your best bet is to automap each assembly individually using AutoMap.AssemblyOf<T>() and adding them to the AutoMappings collection in your configuration.

   Hey Tom, was this of any use?

   Hey James,

   Sorry for not getting back to you.

   Just after you made the change, my project took an unexpected turn, and I didn't get a chance to try it.

   I'll try to take a look today, and let you know how I make out.

   Thanks,

   -Tom

   James,

   This seems to work fine. In the following fragment, "TestMap" is a class in another assembly (all the other classes are in the executing assembly).

           return AutoMap.Assemblies(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(TestMap) ))
               .Where(t => t.Name == "TestMap" ||
                           t.Name == "DlsAppOverlordExportRunData" ||
                           t.Name == "DlsAppOverlordExportData" ||
                           t.Namespace == "BI_OverlordDlsAppCore.C21Cfr" ||
                           t.Name == "MarkHouwinkSakuradaParams" ||
                           t.Name == "DistributionResults" ||
                           t.Name == "ContinDistributionResults" ||
                           t.Name == "NnlsDistributionResults"
                      )
   

   The hardest part (for me) was figuring out how to specify the Assembly parameters, since I'd never worked with that part of System.Reflection before. I'd be interested in your suggestions on better ways to do this.

   -Tom

   There's a few ways to get an Assembly instance, but the easiest one that I've found (as long as the assembly is already referenced by your current project) is to just do: typeof(TestMap).Assembly.
