SerializationFormat

Fields

Binary	1	Serialize as binary content. Available in ADO.NET 2.0 and later versions only. This field is obsolete starting in .NET 7.
Xml	0	Serialize as XML content. The default.

Remarks

Microsoft ADO.NET 2.0 introduced the ability to serialize a DataSet as binary content. Earlier versions of .NET Framework did not support binary serialization. The Binary field is obsolete starting in .NET 7, because it relies on BinaryFormatter, which is inherently insecure.

The default format is Xml. This format is backward compatible and will work with all versions of .NET.
