    <p>The reason a binary formatter is able to deserialize directly to an interface type is because when an object is originally serialized to a binary stream metadata containing type and assembly information is stuck in with the object data. This means that when the binary formatter deserializes the object it knows its type, builds the correct object and you can then cast that to an interface type that object implements. </p> <p>The XML serializer on the otherhand just serializes to a schema and only serializes the public fields and values of the object and no type information other then that (e.g. interfaces the type implements).</p> <p>Here is a good post, <a href="http://www.dotneat.net/2009/03/22/NETSerializationUsingBinaryFormaterSoapFormatterAndXmlSerializer.aspx" rel="noreferrer">.NET Serialization</a>, comparing the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.formatters.binary.binaryformatter.aspx" rel="noreferrer">BinaryFormatter</a>, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.formatters.soap.soapformatter.aspx" rel="noreferrer">SoapFormatter</a>, and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.serialization.xmlserializer.aspx" rel="noreferrer">XmlSerializer</a>. I recommend you look at the following table which in addition to the previously mentioned serializers includes the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.datacontractserializer.aspx" rel="noreferrer">DataContractSerializer</a>, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.netdatacontractserializer.aspx" rel="noreferrer">NetDataContractSerializer</a> and <a href="https://github.com/mgravell/protobuf-net" rel="noreferrer">protobuf-net</a>.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/FzHRL.png" alt="Serialization Comparison"></p>

    1. COGood table. I always found the lack of generics annoying SOAP.

    3. COI believe the "best performance" classification is wrong. Binary formatter is the worst performing serializer in .net (except maybe the soap formatter). At least that's what most benchmarks show: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/youssefm/archive/2009/07/10/comparing-the-performance-of-net-serializers.aspx, http://james.newtonking.com/archive/2010/01/01/net-serialization-performance-comparison.aspx, http://techmikael.blogspot.com/2010/01/net-serialization-performance.html

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
