# SerializerTransparentAttribute

Package: [Microsoft.Orleans.Serialization.Abstractions](/orleans/docs/api/csharp/microsoft.orleans.serialization.abstractions/) 10.0.0

[NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Orleans.Serialization.Abstractions)

```csharp
public sealed class SerializerTransparentAttribute : Attribute
```

Indicates that the specific type is invisible for serialization purposes. Usable only on abstract types with no serialized fields and effectively removes it from the inheritance hierarchy. Adding/removing this attribute from a type will cause serialization protocol level incompatibility (like type hierarchy changes).
