How do you exclude a property from serialization using CodeDomSerializer

Have you tried adding ShouldSerializePropertyName methods?

private bool controlsNormalized = false;
public bool ControlsNormalized
{
get { return controlsNormalized; }
set { controlsNormalized = value; }
}
private bool ShouldSerializeControlsNormalized()
{ return false; }

private Control baseControl = null;
public Control BaseControl
{
get { return baseControl; }
set { baseControl = value; }
}
private bool ShouldSerializeBaseControl()
{ return false; }

Also the attribute:

[DesignerSerializationVisibility( DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)]

"Mick Doherty"

Wow! I spent a day going over various documentation and did not see
anything about either method mentioned. I tried the method and it
solved the problem nicely. Thanks!

Yep, A lot of these little things come with experience building controls.

You might want to review the Attribute derived objects, there are a lot of
designer related items.

Schneider

or just read the designer related sample chapter of chris sell's book,
a lot stuff is in there

Are you referring to this book: Windows Forms 2.0 Programming (2nd
Edition) ?

Always willing to buy a book that has good info in it. Unfortunately
I have 4 books on windows forms that have nothing about designers in
them. So any books with designer is of interest to me!

yes, it has one chapter for design time integration. i've also read a
book from bluevision but it's just a good reference but hard to
understand.
