Remarks

By default, the DataContractSerializer serializes all publicly visible types, read/write properties and fields, or types to which the DataContractAttribute or DataMemberAttribute attributes have been applied. Apply the IgnoreDataMemberAttribute attribute to opt-out of this default DataContractSerializer behavior.
