My Solution (?) to a problem

Hi,

I am storing properties of an object into an SQL Server 2005 db. This object has properties that are arrays of strings - the dimension is rather large. I'd like to persist these arrays as xml, and have accomplished this by implementing IXmlSerialzeable, and then manually outputting the properties in logical order with an XmlWriter. Is this way off base? I'm pretty new to all of this, and am dying to learn more. Thanks.

No it's not off base. But you should also explain what your reasons are for storing the object's properties in an external source and what you plan to do with it, and what the object does.
