I am having a class named link

public class Link

{

public string rel { get; set; }

public string href { get; set; }

public string name { get; set; }

}

Using this class i have to create an json file ("JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Link)") but for some cases i dont want to hide name property and show only rel and href properties and other case i want show all of the 3 properties..

can you please suggest me what to do for this..

Have you tried using JsonIgnore property?

public class Link
{
   public string rel { get; set; }
   public string href { get; set; }
[JsonIgnore]
   public string name { get; set; }
}

Hi rahul,
I way i knew is, set property NullValueHandling saying ignore the null values, and purposely set ti to null, incase you dont want that property to be emitted.

JsonSerializer _jsonWriter = new JsonSerializer
{
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore
};

Hope this answers your query.
