Welcome to physicus': 3 arten der Serialisierung bzw Deserialisierung in C#

Man versteht darunter eine Abbildung von Objekten auf eine externe sequenzielle Darstellungsform. Serialisierung kann für das Erreichen von Persistenz für ein Objekt verwendet werden, aber auch in verteilten Softwaresystemen spielt Serialisierung eine bedeutende Rolle.[Quelle Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialisierung]

Es gibt unter C# 3 Arten der Serialisierung:
* BinaryFormatter (Objekte werden binär abgespeichert)
* SoapFormatter (Objekte können gelesen werden)
* XMLSerializer (Objekte werden in eine XML Datei gespeichert)
