C# Custom Serialization for Property

Question

I'm Serializing a class with XMLSerializer, But for property "MyDynamicObject" alone i want to override and provide a custom implementation. How can it be done ?

[Serializable]
public class Movie
{
  public string Title
  { get; set; }

  public int Rating
  { get; set; }

  public dynamic MyDynamicObject
  { get; set; }
}


public void SerializeToXML(Movie movie)
{
  XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Movie));
  TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(@"C:\movie.xml");
  serializer.Serialize(textWriter, movie);
  textWriter.Close();
}

Answer 1

You could implement the IXMLSerializable which:

Provides custom formatting for XML serialization and deserialization.

Answer 2

You'll want to review the list in Attributes That Control XML Serialization and check for 'properties' in the Applies To column.
