c# - Making a non-serializable vendor class serializable -

i using class vendor's dll not xml serializable because 1 of class members interface.

however, need serialize instance of class.

how can tell xmlserializer ignore interface , serialize else?

you can 2 things:

1) create class every thing want, populate vendor class, serialize it.

check adapter design pattern

2) use json.net. once need serialize ipagedlist have metadata , did this:

    public static string serializepagedlist(ipagedlist<t> pagedlist)     {         string result = jsonconvert.serializeobject(            // new anonymous class wanted             new             {                 items = pagedlist,                 metadata = pagedlist.getmetadata()             },             new jsonserializersettings             {                 nullvaluehandling = nullvaluehandling.ignore,                 referenceloophandling = referenceloophandling.ignore             });         return result;     } 

i hope helps.
