Question 311. I Want To Serialize Instances Of My Class. Should I Use Xmlserializer, Soapformatter Or Binaryformatter?

Serializes an object or graph of objects with the specified root to the given Stream. Serializes an object or graph of objects with the specified root to the given Stream in the SOAP Remote Procedure Call (RPC) format.
