当我不向[DataContract]中的字段添加[DataMember]时会发生什么？

Question

I am specifically interested in knowing that whether that particular field is serialised or not.

For example, I have:

[DataContract]
public class Node {
   [DataMember]
   public string Name;

   [DataMember]
   public int ID;
}

I am only interested in serialising the name, do I still need to decorate with ID with DataMember attribute?

Answer 1

If you omit the attribute the value will not be serialized.

So if you only need the name, you don't need to decorate the ID
