>The [XmlIgnore] and [NotMapped] properties are for serialization. If for some reason somebody wants to serialize the entire business object these properties are not included in the serialized output. Generally serializing a business object isn't a good idea, but I found some people using this did it anyway. Generally you would want to serialize the entities.

This is mainly because it's not an official tool but part of my internal library although a number of people use it. I've been meaning to add documentation but since this is not a revenue generator it's been on the backburner for me unfortunately. :-(

Which examples do you mean? Can you please show me briefly how do you use this class?
E.g. say, you defined your model - what class is it based on?
How do you use this class in a Controller method - just something simple?
-------------------------------
For now I've decided to continue progressing with what I currently have (even if it's a bad way), but I quickly got stuck again trying to implement flexgrid.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
