What is serialization in .NET? What are the ways to control serialization?..

Answer / arijit mandal

Serialization is the process of converting an object into a
stream of bytes. On the other hand Deserialization is the
process of creating an object from a stream of bytes.
Serialization/Deserialization is used to transport or to
persist objects. Serialization can be defined as the
process of storing the state of an object to a storage
medium. During this process, the public and private fields
of the object and the name of the class, including the
assembly are converted to a stream of bytes. Which is then
written to a data stream. Upon the object's subsequent
deserialized, an exact clone of the original object is
created.

Answer / ragesh

When developing smaller applications that do not have a
database (or other formal storage mechanism) or data that
doesn't need to be stored in a database (such as the state
of a web application), you often still would like to save
the data for later retrieval. There are many ways to do
this, but many of them are subject to a lot of extra code
(work) and extra time spent debugging. With .NET, there is
now an easy way to add this functionality to your code with
only a few lines of easily tested code. This easy way is
called serialization.
