Advice needed on socket programming...

Hello, C# gurus!

I and my friends are planning to make a socket program just for practice of
C# programming.
It will be made up of a client program and a server program using a specific
tcp port (e.g. 10000).
The client program will send a connection string and a sql statement to the
server program.
(The DB is on the server side, of course)
The server program will return the result set of the sql statement as a form
of either a comma-separated value or something like that.

My question is what is the most common spec of the messages for this
situation.
XML or just customized parsed string or just stream of the dataset object or
whatever?

I have no experience with socket programs.
I know just the basics of sockets.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
