Perhaps I'm using this wrong. When I use
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlIg noreAttribute()] above an attribute I don't
want serialized it ignores the attribute. It also ignores some other
attributes. Have I done something wrong?
Here's the serialization code
public Form1()
{
testClass test = new testClass();
InitializeCompo nent();
try
{
XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(t ypeof(testClass ));
TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter("\ \" + "test.xml") ;
x.Serialize(wri ter, test);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show (e.ToString());
}
}
Here's the class being serialized. Sorry that it's so long but I couldn't
reproduce this with a shorter class I made

as you can see the last 5 fields did not make it to the XML.
If you simply comment out the
[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlIg noreAttribute()]
public bool BeachcombSpecif ied
{
get
{ return this.beachcombF ieldSpecified; }
set
{ this.beachcombF ieldSpecified = value; }
}
and it's entry in the constructor
BeachcombSpecif ied = false; //should be ignored
they do make it
Once again this is done in the compact framework
