Thanks for your replies.
To summarise:
Serilaisation is the procedure whereby an 'Entity' is tranaslated into a format that can be universally accessed ? e.g. outputting a ursor or a Dataset into an XML file.
Is this any different than say copying a DBF file to a CSV file , if we assume that a CSV file can be universally read ?
Does the output 'Always' have to be in XML format ?

Gerard
