Ignoring a property during deserialization

Question

I have a class that is serializing very nicely - finally!

Now I want to add a property to this class, that I don't want to be serialized at all.

Is it possible to add this new property with some kind of attribute so that when I call serialize or deserialize methods, this property will go unnoticed?

Answer 1

I think your looking for [XmlIgnore] attribute

Answer 2

[XmlIgnore]
public int DoNotSerialize { get { ... } set { ... } }
