NonSerialized attribute not working? (problem does not involve events)

When I use XML serialization to serialize MyCustomObjectC ollection, all of
the public fields of MyCustomObject are being serialized, even those I've
given the <NonSerialized( )> attribute.

<Serializable() > Public Class MyCustomObject

Public FieldID As String
Public ParentId As String
Public ItemId As String

<NonSerialized( )> Public Name As String
<NonSerialized( )> Public Data As String
..
..
..

Both Name and Data are being serialized.
What am I missing?

Thanks
Timo

Timo,

XML Serialization is completely different than "normal" serialization.

In this particular case you might be able to use XMLIgnoreAttrib ute.

Thanks, Kerry, for pointing out the differences. I had ssumed the attribute
would be the same.

Dear friends, When an object is cloned through serialization in memory, to make a copy. clearly the <NonSerialized> fields are not copied. To copy them I usually use (this is a very useful simple Sub): '------------------ copying non serialized --------- Public Sub CopiaFieldsNotSerialized(ByVal Destinazione As Object, ByVal Origine As Object)

It's not useful to serialize events in a class that can be serialized so in C# you can use the 'field' attribute to mark events as 'NonSerializable'.This is not available in VB. Does anyone know when it might be? TIA Crispin Horsfield Caz Limited, Bristol, UK

Is there a way to add the NonSerialized attribute to the "Event" fields that the VB.NET compiler creates when you declare an event? I have a class that we use with binary serialization and we just added two events so now old files won't deserialize to the new class. It says it was expecting 2 more fields, obviously corresponding to the two private fields created for the events. I tried adding the fields explicitly with the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
