I've got an object in my project with circular references. I've put [JsonIgnore] above the field like so:

    [JsonIgnore]
    public virtual Foobar ChildObject { get; set; }

I'm still getting circular reference errors when I serialize the object. The only fields that do not have JsonIgnore are string fields and should not cause this. Is there something else I need to do to get JsonIgnore to work?

Thanks!
