Protected Friend Overridable Function ShouldSerializeValue (serializationManager As WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager, value As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

serializationManager: WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager

The WorkflowMarkupSerializationManager that manages the serialization process.

value: Object

The Object to check.

Returns

Boolean

true to indicate value should be serialized; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Remarks

ShouldSerializeValue is called by WorkflowMarkupSerializer before it serializes the specified object. The method returns false if value contains a null reference (Nothing) or if value and the DefaultValueAttribute of the current serialization context are equal.

You can override ShouldSerializeValue in a class that inherits from WorkflowMarkupSerializer to customize how to determine whether the specified object should be serialized.
