Ignore with a Wildcard

CompareLogic compare = new CompareLogic();
compare.Config.MembersToIgnore.Add("*Id");

Ignore with an Attribute

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)]
public sealed class CompareIgnoreAttribute : Attribute
{
}

public class Shipment
{
	public long IdentCode { get; set; }
	public String Customer { get; set; }
	
	[CompareIgnore]
	public DateTime InsertDate { get; set; }
}

CompareLogic compare = new CompareLogic();
compare.Config.AttributesToIgnore.Add(typeof(CompareIgnoreAttribute));

Compare Only Properties with an Attribute

public class Movie 
{
	[Compare]
	public string Name { get; set; }

	public decimal PaymentForTomCruise { get; set; }
}

CompareLogic compare = new CompareLogic();
compare.Config.RequiredAttributesToCompare.Add(typeof(CompareAttribute));
