While developing an ASP.NET MVC app, I'm finding a few places where my JsonResult actions throw an exception "A circular reference was detected while serializing an object".
For now, I'm removing the references in question, but ideally I'd like to simply mark the property such that the JSON serializer ignores it.
Can anyone suggest how I might do this?

To ignore individual properties, use the [JsonIgnore] attribute. You can specify conditional exclusion by setting the [JsonIgnore] attribute's Condition property. The JsonIgnoreCondition enum provides the following options: Always - The property is always ignored.
You have to change the DefaultContractResolver which uses camelCase by default. Just set the NamingStatergy as null . This should be done in the StartUp.
The purpose of serializing it into JSON is so that the message will be a format that can be understood and from there, deserialize it into an object type that makes sense for the consumer.
Yes, this can be done using a custom ContractResolver . You didn't show any code, so I'll just make up an example. Let's say I have a class Foo as shown below.
[ScriptIgnore] should work for you.
