oh....well that makes things a little different. I guess I should have asked about that sooner:-( Thanks for the info. It might come in very handy. I am still playing with the binary serializtion of a Dataset because I have noticed that for large datasets, it can take a while to create the dataset from xml. Does anybody have an example of a binary serialization of a dataset avaiable?

Are you using WriteXml or GetXml? If you need to maintain rowstate you need to use WriteXml with XmlWriteMode.DiffGram. If you want to only serialize the *changes*, then you should call GetChanges and WriteXml the resulting DataSet as a DiffGram.
