XML Serializationn and the XML data type

Asked by johneanderson in Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio .NET 2005, .NET Framework 2.0

This is a more or less general development question, but here goes...

I am developing a Windows GUI app using Visual Studio .NET 2008.  I want to store objects in the database, not in a separate file that the database points to.  The question is: Should I use the XMLSerializer and output to a string, which I save in a text data field.  Or, should I serialize to an XML datatype in the database?  Is there any advantage to using the XML datatype when it comes to serializing and deserializing an object?Start Free Trial
