What’s the best way to bulk database inserts from c#?

Question

How do I/what’s the best way to do bulk database inserts?

In C#, I am iterating over a collection and calling an insert stored procedure for each item in the collect

Answer 1

I construct the list as an xml string and pass it to the stored proc. In SQL 2005, it has enhanced xml functionalities to parse the xml and do a bulk insert.
