    <p>Is it possible to hide a class' data member from client applications but still serialize with XmlSerializer?</p> <p>The context is that I'm getting an address in pieces but need to concatenate many of those pieces into a single string before serializing the object to XML and passing it along to something else.</p> <p>The address class is in turn part of a larger class so simply inheriting and adding this bit is more complicated were it not nested and my need isn't great enough to warrant writing a custom serializer.</p> <p>Sample:</p> <pre><code>[DataContract] public class Address { [DataMember()] public string City [DataMember()] public string State [DataMember()] public string StreetDirection [DataMember()] public string StreetName [DataMember()] public string StreetNumber [DataMember()] public string StreetSuffix [DataMember()] public string Unit [DataMember()] public string Zip [IgnoreDataMember()] [Serializable] public string AddressLine1 } </code></pre> <p>Basically, I want to have a placeholder (AddressLine1) where I can put the concatenation of StreetXXX properties before passing along (and it's already if the receiver sees the individual pieces).</p> <p><strong>Edit - add example</strong> Input would be something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Address&gt; &lt;StreetNumber&gt;123&lt;/StreetNumber&gt; &lt;StreetDirection&gt;S.&lt;/StreetDirection&gt; &lt;StreetName&gt;Main&lt;/StreetName&gt; &lt;StreetSuffix&gt;St.&lt;/StreetSuffix&gt; &lt;Unit&gt;207&lt;/Unit&gt; &lt;City&gt;Denver&lt;/City&gt; &lt;State&gt;CO&lt;/State&gt; &lt;Zip&gt;80123&lt;/Zip&gt; &lt;/Address&gt; </code></pre> <p>But I'd want to wind up serializing to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Address&gt; &lt;StreetNumber&gt;123&lt;/StreetNumber&gt; &lt;StreetDirection&gt;S.&lt;/StreetDirection&gt; &lt;StreetName&gt;Main&lt;/StreetName&gt; &lt;StreetSuffix&gt;St.&lt;/StreetSuffix&gt; &lt;Unit&gt;207&lt;/Unit&gt; &lt;City&gt;Denver&lt;/City&gt; &lt;State&gt;CO&lt;/State&gt; &lt;Zip&gt;80123&lt;/Zip&gt; &lt;AddressLine1&gt;123 S. Main St.&lt;/AddressLine1&gt; &lt;/Address&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>John</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
