I'm passing classes through a web service. There are some properties on the
class that I don't need to be serialized and would like to remove them for
performance (size) reasons so I've marked them with the
System.Xml.Serialization.SoapIgnore attribute.

I recompiled and checked what was being sent over the wire. The ignored
property is still showing up in the xml serialization!

I've attached some sample code that uses XmlSerializer and I get the same
behavior as thru the web service. (which, I suppose should make a lot of
sense)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Ben

// test method
private void DoSerialize()
{
    TestClass temp=new TestClass();

    XmlSerializer serializer=new XmlSerializer(typeof(TestClass));

    StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();

    StringWriter stream=new StringWriter(sb);

    serializer.Serialize(stream, temp);

    MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString());
}

// class to be serialized
using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace SoapIgnoreTest
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for TestClass.
    /// </summary>
    public class TestClass
    {
        public TestClass()
        {
        }

        public string NotIgnored
        {
            get
            {
                return "NotIgnored";
            }
            set
            {
            }
        }

        [SoapIgnore]
        public string Ignored
        {
            get
            {
                return "Ignored";
            }
            set
            {
            }
        }
    }
}

SoapIgnoreAttribute is only taken into account if you're using SOAP RPC
encoding, which it seems you're not using. For literal encoding (which is
the default), use [XmlIgnore] instead.

Thanks. That was exactly what I needed.

I was hoping for a sec that I'd found a bug in the serialization namespace.
:)
