Is it possible to exclude some type elements from serialization of XmlSerializer?

Question

I have some public elements that I do not want to serialize, I was wondering if there is an attribute for this?

Answer 1

Are you looking for XmlIgnore

Answer 2

Use XmlIgnoreAttribute to do it statically, as others have advised.

You can also do this dynamically. Suppose you have a serializable Name property . Then the following:

[XmlIgnore]
public bool NameSpecified {
    get {
        // your logic here
    }
}

getter true, XML-, . NameSpecified [XmlIgnore], .

Answer 3

XmlIgnore will do the trick.

Answer 4

Use XmlIgnore attribute

Answer 5

Following Azheglov’s comment regarding the “Specified” suffix, the attribute is DefaultValuealso taken into account during serialization, and the value will not be serialized at all if it is by default.
