Serialize

I want to serialze my data (data type is user defined structure). There are
2 tools to do this work. One is to call XmlSerializer in namespace
"system.Xml.Serialization",the other is to call BinaryFormatter in namespace
"system.Runtime.Serialization" and
"system.Runtime.Serialization.formatter.Binary ". I'm not sure which is
better.

Anybody can tell me ?

Using the binary formatter will result in smaller data files but they will
not be XML based.

Binary formatter is faster (no XML formatting overhead).
