Based on what you posted, you control both the server and the client, right?
If so, have you tried JSON? I've used it quite a bit for server <-> client and there are a lot of helpers for every language out there, including a native Android API. http://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/package-summary.html I personally haven't used .NET on these projects, but it's done well for both local and server storage of complex objects. A quick Google of ".net json" took me to http://json.codeplex.com/ . Again, I don't use .NET so I can't say anything for sure, but might be worth a look.
