Serializing this class works fine. However, sometimes I'd like to exclude the field. Is this possible?
[DataContract]
class Foo
{
[DataMember]
Foo _Foo;
}
Setting the field to null temporarily is impossible.

In case someone stumbles upon the same issue, I'll show the solution I went by.
The idea is to facade the original field like this:
[DataContract]
class Foo
{
Foo _FooOriginal;
[DataMember]
Foo _Foo {
get {
return whatever ? _FooOriginal : null;
}
set {
_FooOriginal = value;
}
}
}
