hi all

in the visual studio.net help,
i found the following description of
RSAParameters:


RSAParameters.D Field

[C#]
[NonSerialized]
public transient byte[] D;



i could not find any information about the keyword:
"transient".


could someone please enlighten me about "transient"?

assaf,

There is no keyword/statement "transient" in C# (from what I can tell).
The compiler is spitting up errors everywhere when I try and use it.

Can you compile code that uses "transient"? If so, can you provide the
code? The code you gave does not compile (as it shouldn't).
 
indeed very strange. looks like it's a java keyword that C# once might have
considered borrowing. but someone didn't update them out of the docs?

That is correct. It is used in java to specify that a specific member in an
otherwise
serializable class should not be serialized.

Apparently, [NotSerialized] is the C# equivalent of 'transient' in
Java, so 'transient' should not be present in that C# declaration.

P.
 
thank u all.
