DataContract inheritance behaviour

[DisplayL]

Hi!

I chose DataContract to make the code cleaner but I came across a situation. If you want to group common properties between several classes, in a base class, how does the DataContract attribute work in these cases? It's just that in this case I only want the base class to group common data and it won't be the one that will end up being deserialized, but its subclasses. In this case, how should I apply the DataContract? Should the base class and its members that will be inherited contain DataContract and DataMember respectively?

Thanks in advance

As long as the derived class has DataContract, Chr.Avro should use any DataMember annotations on both that class and the base class. Whether you add DataContract on the base class is up to you.
