dotnet academic: Does anybody know some useful formatters rather than SOAPFormatter and
BinaryFormatter which are provided in .NET Framework?
For example, BinaryCompactFormatter seems to be useful.

Thanks,
Jamal

Hi Jamal,

There are many Formatters provided by the .NET Framework itself like
FormatterConverter or FormatterServices.
Depending on the functionality you want to implement you can choose the
formatter.

You can read more about how to use the Formatters for Serialization from the
below mentioned link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemruntimeserializationformatterclasstopic.asp

Also,following is the link which lists the various Formatters available.

I checked your provided links. Serialization formatter are to implement
IFormatter interface. Regarding MSDN, there are three classes which
implemednt it: BinaryFormatter, Formatter and SOAPFormatter. Formatter is a
helper base class for implementing new formatters.
