FW: Deprecating the SoapFormatter in 2.0
As you can read here from Matt Tavis, Microsoft is seriously considering deprecating the SoapFormatter in .NET Framework 2.0. I have nothing against the idea and would after all consider it a sort of good riddance. What about you?
Instead, I'd like to have a way to easily format object instances to a text format for storing in databases or move through HTTP. Maybe a higher level wrapper of LosFormatter? BTW, LosFormatter is the .NET 1.x class used to create the viewstate text.
