'[Serializable]

public class ABC
{
    public ABC()
    {
        this.AttributeList = new List<DEF>();
    }

    [XmlAttribute]
    public string EntityName { get; set; }

    [XmlAttribute]
    public bool IsManual { get; set; }

    public List<DEF> AttributeList { get; set; }
}`

I need to skip some xml attributes during deserialization process. But they should be available while serialization.

I want all the attributes including AttributeList to be serialized. But during deserialization AttributeList must be ignored. Is it possible? (I can't use [XMLIgnore].)

Can you please tell us what technology are you using ? Language at the least – pmanolov Oct 01 '14 at 09:48
Please provide more context: which programming language will you use to perform the serialization, what framework, etc? – Kurt Du Bois Oct 01 '14 at 09:48
I'm using c# with .net 4.5 in Visual studio 2013 – Nishanth Bhat Oct 06 '14 at 05:20
Can you give an example - say a small piece of XML, and what you expect to be able to do with it? – Damien_The_Unbeliever Oct 06 '14 at 10:09
I want the AttributeList to be serialized. But during deserialization it should ignore the AttributeList. – Nishanth Bhat Oct 06 '14 at 12:33

Is it possible using some customized class? – Nishanth Bhat Oct 07 '14 at 05:25
I want to suppress only deserialization of AttributeList but still be able to serialize it. If i use XmlIgnore property it will suppress the serialization also. – Nishanth Bhat Oct 07 '14 at 07:11
Using XmlIgnore its easy to ignore the property for both serialization and deserialization. But I want to ignore it only during deserialization. – Nishanth Bhat Oct 08 '14 at 10:11
