Question

I have an object which need to be serialized.
Object to serialize:

public class Setting
{
    // Exclude from serialization
    private SettingInfo _key;
    public SettingInfo Key
    {
        get { return _key; }
        set 
        { 
            _key = value;
            Key_Id = _key == null ? 0 : _key.Id;
        }
    }

    // Need to be serialized
    public int Key_Id { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

Question:
Is it possible to exclude the SettingInfo object (Property Key) from serialization using DynamicJson?

• I am using DynamicJson
• Current result: (which contains the serialized Key property)
  {"Key":{"Id":20,"Type":"System.String","Name":"ExampleSetting"},
"Key_Id":20,
"Value":"New Value"}
• Requested result: {"Key_Id":20,"Value":"New Value"}

Usually you would do it with property attribute, but in this lib there are no attributes.
Below is not very beautiful, but working solution.

var r = DynamicJson.Serialize(s);
DynamicJson tt = DynamicJson.Parse(r);
tt.Delete("Key");

r = tt.ToString();
