.NET XML and SOAP Serialization Samples, Tips

E.g.: Storing configuration settings of an application, storing custom settings of a user for an application, saving the state of an application. Since we have persisted forms of objects we can transfer them between applications. Deserialization is the opposite of serialization, which creates the object from its persisted form. Objects are serialized into streams during serialization. FileStream can be stored to persist the objects in files and MemoryStream can be used to store the serialized form of the object in memory. .NET supports XML, SOAP and Binary serializations.
