From: Tony Johansson on 9 Jun 2010 08:08 Hello! Assume there are two applications developed in .NET running in two different networks that should use serialize/deserialized data between each other. What kind of method should be used.. There are two alternatives 1. BinaryFormatter 2. Soapformatter According to the docs it says. You should choose BinaryFormatter only when you know that all clients opening the serialized data will be .NET Framework applications. Use SoapFormatter when other applications might read your serialized data and when sending data across a network. //Tony

Didn't you just answer your own question?

So is there a best choice in this matter //Tony

When it is .NET - .NET then BinaryFormatter will work and it has a lot less overhead than SoapFormatter, so you should follow the docs. If you ever plan on saving in file or database, then I would suggest XmlSerializer. Arne |
