Hi,

I have a bunch of data with basic structure as
class A{
public string;
public float:
public DateTime;
public int;
}

I originally pass it by socket as a xml string. However, due the large
volume of data and limited bandwidth, it seems not an efficient way. So in
C#, what is the best way to pass the data in socket with a compressed size?
Thanks

Chris

The binary formatter produces the smallest serialization stream.

You should also consider a WCF service with tcp

That is a quick demo I wrote up............that gives you "true" DotNet
objects on both sides of the "wire".
