SoapAttributes.SoapIgnore Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xml.Serialization

Assembly:

System.Xml.XmlSerializer.dll

Source:

SoapAttributes.cs

Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the XmlSerializer serializes a public field or property as encoded SOAP XML.

public:
 property bool SoapIgnore { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool SoapIgnore { get; set; }

member this.SoapIgnore : bool with get, set

Public Property SoapIgnore As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the XmlSerializer must not serialize the field or property; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example serializes a class named Group. The serialization of the GroupName and IgnoreThis fields and the members of the GroupType enumeration are overridden. In the CreateOverrideSerializer method, a SoapAttributeOverrides is created, and for each overridden member or enumeration, a SoapAttributes is created with the appropriate property set and added to the SoapAttributeOverrides. An XmlTypeMapping is created using the SoapAttributeOverrides, and that XmlTypeMapping is used to create the XmlSerializer that overrides the default serialization.

Remarks

By default, all public fields and public read/write properties are serialized by the XmlSerializer. That is, the value of each public field or property is persisted as an XML element or XML attribute in an XML document.

To override the default serialization of a field or property, create a SoapAttributes, and set its SoapIgnore property to true. Use the Add method to add the object to a SoapAttributeOverrides and specify the type of the object that contains the field or property to ignore and the name of the field or property to ignore.

If a SoapIgnoreAttribute is applied to a field or property, the field or property is ignored. However you can override that behavior by creating a SoapAttributes, setting its SoapIgnore property to false, and adding it to a SoapAttributeOverrides, specifying the type of the object that contains the field or property and the name of the field or property.
