ENHANCEMENT: IgnoreProperties using RegExp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This isn't an issue, it's a feature request. I'd like to pass a regexp to 
IgnoreProperties and any property that matches, is ignored. 

Thanks
M

That's very good idea.  I would probably use a different method name though to 
distinguish it: 
void IgnorePropertiesMatching(string pattern)
void IgnorePropertiesMatching(RegExp pattern)

Glad to hear it. For anyone else viewing this ticket who wants to do something 
like this prior to the future release, here's an example of how I've gone about 
it:

 var td = s.Config.GetTypeHandler(object_to_serialize.GetType());
 Regex sampleRegex = new Regex(
      "IgnoreThisPropertyRegularExpression",
    RegexOptions.Multiline
    | RegexOptions.CultureInvariant
    | RegexOptions.Compiled
    );

foreach (var prop in td.AllProperties)
 {
     if(sampleRegex.IsMatch(prop.Name))
     {
         prop.Ignored = true;
     }
     else
     {
         prop.Ignored = false;
     }
 }
