[RESOLVED] XML serialization, hide some properties.

Hi,

I am XML-serializing my classes. But when the serialization takes place; all public properties are in the resulting XML-file. But there are certain properties that I do not want to be exported.

Is there a keyword or way to avoid the serialization of specific properties?

I tried several articles and tutorials, and even the Microsoft MSDN-library, but I did not find it anywhere.

Thank you in advance.

Mark them with the NonSerialized attribute...

eg:

VB Code:

<NonSerialized()> Public MyString As String

For a property, try using the XmlIgnore attribute::

VB Code:

<Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnore()> Public Property MyProperty() As Integer
        Get
            Return Me._int
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
            Me._int = Value
        End Set
    End Property
