This is a very useful extension for working with types with many properties. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with types that inherit from a base class (line 11 throws a NullReferenceException). One workaround is to provide explicit mappings or ignores for base class properties.
Above extension is not working with Automapper 5.0.2
