Hello,

You just need to decorate your class.

[DataContract(Namespace = "")]
public partial class foo
{
    [DataMember(Name = "code")]
    public int ID { get; set; }
    [DataMember(Name = "Firstname")]
    public string Name { get; set; }
    [DataMember(Name = "Family")]
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

Valery.

I hear that you don't want to decorate your classes with attributes but to do it totally POCO, there is a bit more work involved.

Check out Sam's Flickr.Net Lib. Here is how he does it with his Photo Class: flickr-net/Photo.cs at master · samjudson/flickr-net · GitHub[^].

My preference is not to do it Sam's way as there is more work to maintain it than using attributes and allowing the serialization process to do the work for you.
