title: Serialize C# class directly to SQL server?
body: <p>can anyone suggest the best way to serialize data (a class actually) to a DB?</p>
  
  <p>I am using SQL server 2008 but i presume i need to serialize the class to a string / or other data type before storing in the database?</p>
  
  <p>I presume that this field needs to be text or binary??</p>
  
  <p>Does SQL server 2008 (or .net 3.5) support serializing directly tothe database ??</p>
  
  <p>Any help really appreciated</p>
