    <p>Use an object of constant size; getting "size" information from a Type is messy and won't gain you much in terms of figuring out which is "best". Any object decorated as a DataContract can be serialized to binary (DataContract inherits Serializable), basic XML (any object with a default constructor can be serialized into XML) or DataContract XML (this requires the most markup to start with, but it's pretty simple).</p> <p>For a running test, create a method that will take an Object and a Serializer. It should create a MemoryStream and start a StopWatch, then serialize the object into the MemoryStream (make sure to Flush()). Then it stops the stopwatch and returns you the results as a TimeSpan, and the Stream's length. Then reset and start the Stopwatch and deserialize the Stream, and remember that time. You can set the return results up as a simple struct.</p> <p>Run this with the same object for each serializer you want to test. Output each of the results to the console or debug output, and may the best serializer win.</p> <p>Generally speaking, I think you'll find:</p> <ul> <li><p>BinarySerializer will be fastest and smallest, as it has the least overhead of bytes to write while serializing. However, .NET's binary serializations are platform-specific; if you want to talk to anything but another .NET assembly that knows about your exact type, forget it.</p></li> <li><p>XMLSerializer, SoapSerializer and DataContractSerializer all output various forms of XML. DataContract is actually the simplest format (the XML is extremely basic because the handshake and other protocol/communication information is seperate) and will probably be rather fast. SOAP has a lot of bloat in the serialized file because of transport and metadata information, but is easy to generate as it's a pretty strict format. Basic XML serialization, because it's so flexible, has a lot of overhead, but can generate a very simple or very complex schema.</p></li> </ul>

    1. CONote; you will usually need a large number of cycles to give any kind of comparison. And I'm not sure I agree with some of the points; BinaryFormatter can be overweight depending on the data, and XmlSerializer is often simpler than DataContractSerializer. It all depends on the data, of course.

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.
