Hi Greg,

There is. The attribute is called IgnoreDataMember (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.ignoredatamemberattribute.aspx)

We also have a couple of suggestions that we recommend before going the attribute route.

1. You can create a subset of the entity, excluding the fields that you don't want to send to the client.

2. Or you can create a secondary entity with the excluded fields and create a 1 to 1 relation with the main entity. This is such that when you query for the main entity, you have an option to exclude that secondary entity.

Hope this helps.

Is there an attribute that can be set on a field so that it does not ever get downloaded to the client?

I have a field which is fairly large and used only for searching, so it doesn't need to get sent down to the client. I do need to be able to populate it on the server however.
