1. ابتدا تمامی typeهای تعریف شده در پروژه به متد فوق پاس داده خواهند شد. 
   
2. برای هر type تمامی اینترفیس‌هایی که توسط این type پیاده‌سازی شده باشند را دریافت خواهیم کرد.
   
3. سپس هر type که اینترفیس IMapFrom را پیاده‌سازی کرده باشد را پردازش می‌کنیم.
   
4. سپس از نوع‌های Abstract و Interface صرفنظر خواهیم کرد.
   
5. انواع مبدا و مقصد را برای AutoMapper فراهم خواهیم کرد.
   
6. در نهایت AutoMapper براساس آنها نگاشت را ایجاد خواهد کرد.
