I will be supporting SqlServer Session state but am wondering what the best/fastest way will be of supporting the storage of my two datasets and a datatable; all items have only a few user/session related records. I am considering 3 options: 1) using dataset or datatable's WriteXML/ReadXML methods while using a StringWriter to get/set a string value, something like this: Dim writer As New System.IO.StringWriter customerTable.WriteXml(writer, True) StoreInSessionState(writer) My understanding is that the serializing/deserializing of datasets/datatable is relatively slow for SqlServerState. 2) use the SqlServerState's serializing 3) use #1 above but save to a file on the web server. Thanks, Ken Bus
