  Can someone point me to steps to serialize how a strongly typed data set gets serialized More specifically, I want to make it less verbose. I want the properties of strongly typed rows to be serialized (and deserialized) as Attributes rather than Elements, but I still want to use the WriteXml and ReadXml to do this.
