DataContractSerializer.IgnoreExtensionDataObject Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets a value that specifies whether to ignore data supplied by an extension of the class when the class is being serialized or deserialized.

Namespace:  System.Runtime.Serialization
Assembly:  System.Runtime.Serialization (in System.Runtime.Serialization.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IgnoreExtensionDataObject As Boolean
public bool IgnoreExtensionDataObject { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true to omit the extension data; otherwise, false. The default value is true.

Remarks

The IgnoreExtensionDataObject property is used when the class to which a DataContractAttribute is applied also implements the IExtensibleDataObject interface. In this case, the data added in a future version of the contract is ignored on read and write.
