Force deserialization with invalid data.

[zlf]

I have a class.

[Serializable]
public class A
{
private int id=0;

public int Id
{
get { return id; }
set { if (value < 1) { throw ArgumentExcepti on("Id cannot be less
than 1."); } id = value; }
}
}

And an instance A a = new A().
If I serialize this instance, then deserialize it back, I will get an
exception thrown by setter of Id since id is zero. Can u tell me how to make
deserializer to ignore those exceptions and finish the deserialization ?
Thanks

Why do you initialize your private field to an invalid value to start
with? If 0 is not a valid value for Id, why do you initialize it to
that in the first place?
