xml serialization and conditional attributes

[enricolyb@hotmail.com]

hi,

i created a xsd schema and corresponding cs file using xsd.exe. now i
want to skip individual
items inside an array of elements based on an attribute value.
e.g.
<nodes>
<node attr = "1">
<node attr = "2">
<nodes>
but i only want to have <node attr = "1"written to the xml file, but
not the <node attr = "2">
is it possible to do this with XmlAttributeOve rrides? This would be
easier instead of cloning
and adjusting the objects before serialization as it is a very deeply
nested structure.

if anyone has an idea on this, please let me know.
many thanks in advance
