serialize arraylist

[ArizonaRedneck]

I was just wondering how to serialize an arraylist to xml USING VB.NET. After that, I would like to store the generated xml into a sql server database. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I haven't done it myself but it looks fairly straightforward in the following article:

I would like to store the generated xml into a sql server database

There are lots of ways of doing this, some examples are:
[ul]
[li]Reading the xml into a dataset/datatable, looping through it and inserting it one row at a time[/li]
[li]Use DTS[/li]
[/ul]
