Question

i have a type

 class Foo 
 {
   public string Name { get; set; }
 }

and i can serialize it quickly with JsonConvert.SerializeObject() method (without custom settings). But if i decorate class definition with [DataContract] property Name is not serialized.

Is there a way to serialize DataContract Foo type WITHOUT decorating it with additional Newtonsoft.Json specific attributes?

Answer 1

Try annotating the property with the DataMember Attribute:

[DataContract]
class Foo 
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
