What is the property? A sub-object? A List? If the serializer doesn't think
it needs to call the setter: it won't. For example, the typical list
handling code could be paraphrased (not the actual implementation) as:
var list = obj.SomeList;
bool setValue = false;
if(list == null) {
list = new List<SomeType>();
setValue = true;
}
while(nextTag == expected) {
list.Add(ReadSomeType());
}
if(setValue) obj.SomeList = list;
Indeed, it is not uncommon that there *is no setter* (for a list / child
object), so the library needs to support those scenarios too.
There are some flags you can set to help steer it to always write - but an
example of your scenario would help.
Also, note that the library supports deserialization callbacks (to perform
any pre-deserialization steps), custom type factories (to initialize
objects in a different way) and constructor-skipping (to bypass any fields
initializers) - these are all optional switches etc.
