Is it possible to programmatically set that you want to exclude a property from serialization?
Example:
I believe there are three options here:
Use XmlIgnore attribute. The downside is that you need to know in advance which properties you want the xmlserializer to ignore.
Implement the IXmlSerializable interface. This gives you complete control on the output of XML, but you need to implement the read/write methods yourself.
Implement the ICustomTypeDescriptor interface. I believe this will make your solution to work no matter what type of serialization you choose, but it is probably the lengthiest solution of all.
