Hide a property in c# code

Question

I have a Business class say User.cs:

  [Serializable]
    public class User
    {

        public int UserID { get; set; }
        public string UserName { get; set; }
        public int Password { get; set; }

    }

In my server side code I am writing the following code to serialize the user object in JSON format:

User user=SomeUserBLClass.GetUser(1);
Response.Write(new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(user));

My requirement is to hide the password being sent to client side i.e I don't want the password field to come in json data. Can you help me fixing this?

Answer 1

You could add the [ScriptIgnore] attribute to Password.

[Serializable]
public class User
{

    public int UserID { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }

    [ScriptIgnore]
    public int Password {get; set;}
}
