How can I hide the property of PropertyGid in XML?

Question

below is my XML generated by using XMLSerializer and there are propertygrid's properties. What I wish to do is to edit the contents in XML file so that the property can be hidden, instead of change the code using [browsable(false)]. For example, there are Name, ID, Mode and email, these 4 properties, and I want to hide then Name by editing the content in XML file. What should I do to achieve this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Person xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Name xsi:type="xsd:string">Hello</Name>
  <ID xsi:type="xsd:string">1132701760</ID>
  <Mode xsi:type="xsd:string">burst</Mode>
  <Email xsi:type="xsd:string">junxiong1995@hotmail.com</Email>
</Person>

MVVM approach:

Basically it implements by built-in class in .Net BooleanToVisibilityConverter:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="booleanVisibilityConverter"/>
</UserControl.Resources>

Let me show work example:

XAML:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="booleanVisibilityConverter"/>
</UserControl.Resources>
...
<Button Content="Hello, I am the button" Visibility="{Binding ShowButton, 
                Converter={StaticResource booleanVisibilityConverter}}"/>

ViewModel:

private bool _showButton = false;
public bool ShowButton
{
   get { 
         //you can write logic here to get values from XML
         return _showButton; 
   }
   set
   {
      if (value != _showButton)
      {
         //you can write logic here to get values from XML
         _showButton = value;
         OnPropertyChanged("ShowButton");
      }
   }
}

If you want to change the Visibility of your Button in code, you can make it by this code in ViewModel:

ShowButton = false;

If you use code-behind approach:

XAML:

<Button Content="Hello, I am the button" Name="btn"/>

Code-behind:

 //read xml file
 if(...your logic here...)
    btn.Visibitity= System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
