@eiriktsarpalis - is this something we'd want to change later to add parameterized constructor support? (e.g. 9.0, servicing, never?) |
We are leaving it in the backlog (#92877) as something we will consider adding support for in .NET 9+. We would not bring it for servicing though. |

Backport of #92937 to release/8.0

Customer Impact
We received a customer report that the newly added
JsonObjectCreationHandling
feature (aka "populate read-only members") does not behave as expected when applied to types that deserialize using parameterized constructors. On closer inspection it turned out fixing the feature for that particular use case would necessitate substantial refactoring of async serialization code, something that is too risky/time consuming to do at this stage. Instead, this PR adds checks and throws an explicit exception when users attempt to use the feature on types with parameterized constructors.Testing
Added unit testing validating the throwing behavior.
Risk
Low. Adds additional validation to product code to block the unsupported scenario.
