    serialization

    is the difference between serializing(and de-serializing) to binary and to XML big? is the bin much faster?

    I don't have any direct experience with this, but according to Application Development Using C# and .NEt :

    -------------
    The BinaryFormatter uses a binary, compact format for serializing and deserializing on platforms that support the CLR. The SoapFormatter uses an XML (therefore text based) protocol and can be used to communicate with non-CLR platforms.

    The binary form is faster.
