serialization / deserialization: ignoring specific properties

[mhollandertetragoninvcom]

I see a way to ignore specific fields (via the NonSerializedAttribute), or specific types (via the DataContractAttribute), but I don't see a way to ignore specific properties within specific types. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Setting [NonSerialized] on a property should cause it to be ignored. If [DataContract] is set on the type, any members without [DataMember] will be ignored. See the docs for a full explanation of the behavior.

Thanks for the response. I think that NonSerializedAttribute is specific to fields in the .net definition - it's got [System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field, Inherited=false)]

Ahh, got it. We could look for [IgnoreDataMember] as well; tracking that with #281.
