Question

I’m using something like:

var users = somelinqquery;

Currently, I’m returning a serialized users using:

    return new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(
     new { Result = true, Users = users }
    );

The User object have more properties that I need to serialize, age, birthday, etc…

How can I choose what properties to serialize, something like:

    return new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(
     new { Result = true, Users = new { Id = users.id, Name = users.name } }
    );

Add ScriptIgnore attribute to your field/property

public class User
{
    [ScriptIgnore]
    public string IgnoreThisField= "aaa";
    public string Name = "Joe";
}
