NewtonSoft add JSONIGNORE at runTime

Question

Am looking to Serialize a list using NewtonSoft JSON and i need to ignore one of the property while Serializing and i got the below code

pub         


        

Answer 1

No need to do the complicated stuff explained in the other answer.

NewtonSoft JSON has a built-in feature for that:

public bool ShouldSerializeINSERT_YOUR_PROPERTY_NAME_HERE()
{
    if(someCondition){
        return true;
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}

It is called "conditional property serialization" and the documentation can be found here.

Warning: first of all, it is important to get rid of [JsonIgnore] above your {get;set;} property. Otherwise it will overwrite the ShouldSerializeXYZ behavior.
