They certainly can if you want them to. You could for instance permanently
persist the info in a SqlServer/Oracle table and recreate the object from
that.

Can you show me the code that's doing this? all that the ws is doing is
taking and dishing out XML. From that XML you can make an object of
whatever type you want. For instance, you could get all of the properties
of a datareader, send it to the ws, and have the ws store it in a table. On
a future request, it coudl grab that record. You could create a new reader,
and set the properties so its state matched the old ones and use it
accordingly. THis is probably the lamest example I can think of b/c a
reader doesn't have a lot of properties, but you could do the same with
your custom objects.

FYI, I've heard quite a bit of scuttle*** that Remoting is pretty much
dead, well, about to die is probably a better way of phrasing it. Having
played with both, WS provide a much more pleasant framework to work with by
and large.
