My fault, I just read the comments here :)

Automapper and Entity Framework are two absolutely different things. The first one in a mappings library and the other one is a full ORM.

Automapper basically allows you to convert a DB Model to a DTO or a ViewModel.

could you elaborate a bit more on that?

You guys should check these ones:

Edit: formatting.
