Hi,

First of all let me say that this is not an answer but just a bunch of additional questions. When reading your post I was wondering questions like:
- do you need concurrency control? This seems like single user application if your data is located on client, but do you have simultaneous threads accessing the same data.
- how much data do you plan to store. If there's going to be "lots" of it, you may end up with performance issues without a good data store
- how about state handling and transactions. Are they needed
- is referential integrity or key handling needed between serialized data
- is there a reason why you don't want to use datasets for storing data (if theres only a small amount of data)
- security issues of any kind, access rights etc
- backups needed at any time and how they are handled and so on...

Including a database (of some kind) into your project is going to cause some "extra work" for you but it also takes away much coding when it comes to the issues mentioned above. Usually the savings is greater. This approach also adds scalability to your project if needed.

Database can be installed with a very small footprint and the installation usually can be completely added to your deployment mechanism. Some of those databases are (just my preferences) Oracle XE, SQL Server Express Edition and DB2 Express-C. But still, not saying that is the optimal approach to you.
