DataMemberAttribute Class

Definition

When applied to the member of a type, specifies that the member is part of a data contract and is serializable by the DataContractSerializer.

public ref class DataMemberAttribute sealed : Attribute
[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)]
public sealed class DataMemberAttribute : Attribute
[<System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Field | System.AttributeTargets.Property, AllowMultiple=false, Inherited=false)>]
type DataMemberAttribute = class
    inherit Attribute
Public NotInheritable Class DataMemberAttribute

Examples

The following example shows a type to which the DataContractAttribute and DataMemberAttribute attributes have been applied. The Name property on the DataMemberAttribute is set to "ID".

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Xml;

// You must apply a DataContractAttribute or SerializableAttribute
// to a class to have it serialized by the DataContractSerializer.
[DataContract()]
class Person : IExtensibleDataObject
{
    private string LastNameValue;
    // Apply the DataMemberAttribute to fields (or properties)
    // that must be serialized.
    [DataMember()]
    public string FirstName;

    [DataMember]
    public string LastName
    {
        get { return LastNameValue; }
        set { LastNameValue = value; }
    }

    [DataMember(Name = "ID")]
    public int IdNumber;

    // Note that you can apply the DataMemberAttribute to
    // a private field as well.
    [DataMember]
    private string Secret;

    public Person(string newfName, string newLName, int newIdNumber)
    {
        FirstName = newfName;
        LastName = newLName;
        IdNumber = newIdNumber;
        Secret = newfName + newLName + newIdNumber;
    }

    // The extensionDataValue field holds data from future versions
    // of the type.  This enables this type to be compatible with
    // future versions. The field is required to implement the
    // IExtensibleDataObject interface.

Remarks

Apply the DataMemberAttribute attribute in conjunction with the DataContractAttribute to identify members of a type that are part of a data contract. One of the serializers that can serialize data contracts is the DataContractSerializer.

The data contract model is an "opt-in" model. Applying the DataMemberAttribute to a field or property explicitly specifies that the member value will be serialized. In contrast, the XmlSerializer serializes all public fields and properties of a type.

Caution

You can apply the DataMemberAttribute to private fields or properties. Be aware that the data returned by the member (even if it's private) will be serialized and deserialized, and thus can be viewed or intercepted by a malicious user or process.

By default, the CLR member name is used as the name of the data member. By setting the Name property, you can customize the name of the data member. This can be used to provide a name that may not be allowed as a CLR member name. When mapping to XML using the DataContractSerializer, this name is used as the name of the schema element in a type.

Note

Properties to which the DataMemberAttribute attribute has been applied must have both get and set fields. They cannot be get-only or set-only. To serialize a property that should remain get-only by design (for example, a property that returns a collection), consider applying the DataMemberAttribute to the backing field instead.

For more information about data contracts and data members, see Using Data Contracts. For more information about member names, see Data Member Default Values.
