Json.NET Serialize private members and not readonly properties
c#, json.net
Solution
For a partial answer, messing with DefaultContractResolver.DefaultMembersSearchFlags can get it to include private things:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializerSettings jss = new Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializerSettings();
if (includePrivateMembers)
{
Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.DefaultContractResolver dcr = new Newtonsoft.Json.Serialization.DefaultContractResolver();
dcr.DefaultMembersSearchFlags |= System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic;
jss.ContractResolver = dcr;
}
return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(o, jss);
Seems to work on a lot of objects, though with some this seems to generate a CLR exception.
Problem
How can I customize Json.NET to serialize private members and NOT serialize public readonly properties (without using attributes). I've had a stab around at creating a custom `IContractResolver` but am a bit lost.
