Encoding in .NET means converting a unicode string to a sequence of bytes and decoding means the reverse of this process. Other character sets such as ASCII and UTF-8 are also supported.

Serialization means converting an object into a binary or XML representation so that it can be stored on disk (or memory) in such a way that a copy of the object can easily be reconstituted using the reverse process of deserialization.
