what is the size of the double when converted to string
i have data structure i am passing this from server to client using data contract.
the data structure is 

class datatransfer
{
double m_value1;

double m_value2;

double m_value3;

};


in the client i want to write into file.

the one idea is convert the values of the datatransfer into string using stringbuilder
than transfer the string to the client.

or 
else send the data structure and write the file using stream reader

I wanted to know if i write the contents of the data using writeline.

//which is the best approach

converting to string or send the datastructure and write to the file

Reason for the question : to avoid the generation of string.

double size is 8 bytes. If i convert it to string what will be the size.
