I serialize EntityCollection, but i would like to reduce size of the output xml.

      CustomerCollection cc = new CustomerCollection();
      cc.GetMulti(null, 3);

      string serialized;

      cc.WriteXml(XmlFormatAspect.Compact, out serialized);

The form of xml generated with XmlFormatAspect.Compact25 would be fine, but it is not supported in SelfServicing.

On the client i have the same LLBL project, but i don't need to instantiate the entities necessarily. Now I'm just copying field values to another enities. I dont need the IsChanged or IsNullabe informations to be serialized.

Thanks!

using v2.6, SelfServicing

You could project the entities onto simple lightweight POCO classes and serialize those - it should result in much smaller and simpler XML.

Adapter is designed for this purpose, not selfservicing, as it makes no sense to have entities on the client which can do lazy loading and save themselves.
