No, you have to pass the name of the whole class.

As Senthil said, you need to mark all those properties which you don't want serializing with the [XmlIgnore] attribute. The serializer will then only serialize the remainder.

When the object is deserialized, the properties which haven't been serialized will be set to their default values.

hello sir,
Thanx for ur Reply.
i have one more doubt..

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(LoginViewModel));
TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(@"D:\movie.xml");
serializer.Serialize(textWriter, loginViewModel);
textWriter.Close();

im using this code for serialization here im passing my class name where are my all properties which im serialized. can i pass direct property name instead of passing class name??

Hi Sumit,

There is two ways to make properties non-serializable in.NET using attributes.

You may set attributes [NonSerialized] or [XmlIgnore]

If you serializing in binary or SOAP you should use [NonSerialized], if you want to serialize just in XML you should use [XmlIgnore].

So in your case the answer is [XmlIgnore]

For example,

[XmlIgnore()]
public Type X
{
get;set;
}
