I'm not quite sure that we have understand each other... What I am doing
is serializing object with XmlSerializer intto XML document. This works
fine, but I want to remove XML elements (object properties) which are
not changed during process. For example, there is input XML (deserialzed
to object):
<book>
<id>1</id>
<author>Neal Stephenson</author>
<title>Cryptonomicon</title>
<price>28</price>
</book>
If only price was changed during the process, (I'm keeping which
properties are changed) desired XML wold be:
<book>
<id>1</id>
<price>25</price>
</book>
Off course, real situation is a little bit more complex, because there
is lot of elements, some complex types, arrays and so on.
Now I am writing IXmlSerializable interface, but it is not supported
feature, so I'm still looking for a better way :)
