c# xml serialization : ignore a class

Question

I am using sgen.exe to generate a serializer for the classes of my project. Many classes have to be serizalized, and many others don't.

The attribute [XmlIgnore] doesn't works on classes, so is there a way to do it?

thanks

The only way I can think of is adding the XmlIgnore attribute to each property you do not want serialised. Not sure if sgen allows you to specify classes to ignore but I was having a look at this .

Hope that helps!
