I'm using the XmlSerializer to serialize an object to an xml file. When
I look at the file I see that the xml produced is nicely formatted for
a human eye. It has line breaks and indentations (as series of white
spaces). Unfortunately all these formatting niceties aren't free. An
xml that would normally take ~33Mb takes ~58Mb. So here's my question:

Is there an option to make XmlSerializer produce tight xml with no line
breaks or indentations?

P.S. Using the framework 1.1

Hi,

It's usually a good practice to post the solution when one finds it.
This avoids that others have to ask again, they can then find the
solution in the NG's archives.

Greetings,
Laurent
