c# - Serializer is trying to serialize a property decorated with [ProtoIgnore] -

i have next class

[protocontract(implicitfields = implicitfields.allfields)] public class foo { public int foo { get; set; } [protoignore] public bar bar { get; set; } public int tomd5hash() { var md5 = md5cryptoserviceprovider.create(); using (memorystream ms = new memorystream()) { serializer.serialize<foo>(ms, this); var hash = md5.computehash(ms.toarray()); homecoming bitconverter.toint32(hash, 0); } } }

but getting exception when calling tomd5hash. says no serializer defined type: somenamespace.bar if property decorated protoignore attribute.

note: if remove implicitfields , utilize protomember, serialization works.

am doing wrong?

you've told serialize fields. field not decorated [protoignore]. property is, , there no way equate fields properties. utilize of term "fields" here specific , intentional: doesn't mean "members" - means "fields".

options:

tell serialize public members, not fields use manually implemented property , mark field [protoignore] mark members manually

it nice if automatically implemented properties allowed same syntax field-like events, i.e.

[field:protoignore] public int foo {get;set;}

however, i'm pretty sure not supported in language.
