Ignoring a property during deserialization

Question

I have a class that serializes very well - finally!

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

Is it possible to add this new property with some kind of attribute, so that when calling serialization or deserialization methods, this property will go unnoticed?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

I think you are looking for the [XmlIgnore] attribute
