Custom Complex Type Rules

By default, Complex Types are saved according to the following rules: all public, non-static, read-and-write-enabled fields and properties of a type are saved and loaded. However, sometimes you don't want to save a public member, and sometimes you do want to save a private member. You can make this happen with SUCC.DontSaveAttribute and SUCC.DoSaveAttribute.

Example

public class Cat
{
    public string Name { get; private set; }
    public float Fuzziness;
    public float Mass;
}

Say I have a Cat with Name = Wiggles, Fuzziness = 3.5, and Mass = 30. By default it will be saved like this:

cat:
	Fuzziness: 3.5
	Mass: 30

However, I do want to save Name, and I don't want to save Mass. I can do so like this:

using SUCC;

public class Cat
{
    [DoSave] public string Name { get; private set; }
    public float Fuzziness;
    [DontSave] public float Mass;
}

The Cat will now be saved like so:

cat:
	Name: Wiggles
	Fuzziness: 3.5

Currently, you can only control which fields and properties are saved in types that you control.
