c# [NonSerialized] field with inline initialization isn't initialized after deserialization

Question

I have a [Nonserialized] field in my class that is initialized inline:

[NonSerialized]
private bool running = true;

However, after deserializing an object I have running == false. This is not what I want. Can I force inline initializatin to work for all [NonSerialized] fields? Otherwise I will have to implement ISerializable...

Answer 1

You could set it in the default constructor.

Implement the System.Runtime.Serialization.IDeserializationCallback

It is called afther the object is deserialized so you can perform your extra initialization there .
