Hi
I'm affraid that's impossible but you can have a computed property ( which concats the first name and last name and returns the full name) and you can ignore it using XmlIgnore attribute.

In fact we would like to test if MS Project (or another application) is installed and if not simply don't provide the functionality. I searched on MSDN, Google Groups, etc but did not find something useful...
