I have the following XML generated using a function FreezeAllAccountsForUser. I need to serialize only the following two columns for this function. How can I restrict the serialization to two columns?
- BankAccountID
- Status
Note: The key point is that the scope of making this restriction should be only within the function FreezeAllAccountsForUser; not global.
