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

[Timo]

When I use XML serialization to serialize MyCustomObjectCollection, 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 XMLIgnoreAttribute.

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