xmlignore

I am trying to use XmlAttributeOverrides to control which class properties appear in the xml after the class has been serialized. It works on properties that are on the "root" class but not on nested properties. Here is a simple example to illustrate what I'm trying to accomplish. My class hierarchy is as follows: public class Main { public string Name { get; set; } public Location Address { get; set; } } public class Location { public string StreetAddress { get; set; } public Contact ContactInfo{ get; set; } } public class Contact { public string PhoneNumber { get; set; } public string

I have a class, containing a property Brush MyBrush marked as [XmlIgnore] . Nevertheless it is serialized in the stream causing trouble when trying to read via XamlReader . I did some tests, e.g. when changing the visibility of the Property (to internal) it is gone in the stream. Unfortunately I cannot do this in my particular scenario. Did anybody have the same issue and? Do you see any way to work around this? Remark: C# 4.0 as far I can tell This is a method from my Unit Test where I do test the XamlSerialization : // buffer to a StringBuilder StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
