This example uses a simple scenario to demonstrate how an instance of an object is created and serialized into a file stream and stored into database using the Serialize method.The XML stream is saved to a file, and the same file is then read back and reconstructed into a copy of the original object using the Deserialize method. Serialization is the process of converting the state of an object into a form that can be ersisted or transported. The complement of serialization is deserialization,which converts a stream into an object. Together, these processes allow data to be easily stored and transferred.
