Set The "NonSerializedAttribute" To An Auto Property

Question

This cannot be done in C#. Any way to do it?

...

laugh, in case my little pun wasn't understood, what I mean is: how can I mark a property in C# as NonSerialized? Of course, when the property contains logic, it's natural to be unable to do it, but Auto-Properties are serializable, and, as such, I would expect to have some way to allow me to prevent their serialization.

Answer 1

  [NonSerialized]
  public string MyProperty { get; set; }

Is an error

  [XmlIgnore]
  public string MyProperty { get; set; }

Is not an error

NonSerialized Indicates that a field of a serializable class should not be serialized.

XmlIgnore Instructs the Serialize method of the XmlSerializer not to serialize the public field or public read/write property value

so, if you ask

I would expect to have some way to allow me to prevent their serialization.

the answer yes, if you're using XmlSerializer
