Hmmm. Would it be better to implement a methods MBR object "Customers"
(with GetCustomer(), UpdateCustomer() as exposed methods etc...) which
returns and consumes an MBV object "Customer" (with all the
customer-specific properties and methods exposed). The MBV object could
then be used on the client.

Thing is, the MBV object created by the WebService is a very shallow
instance of the object "CustomerProxy" (ie: simply a collection of fields).
Is there a simple way of taking a proxy object and deserializing it into an
instance of the original object (the Base class library will be included in
the Winforms client) which can be manipulated by the client software and
then passed back as an argument in another WS call? If there is, WS is my
architecture of choice; if not Remoting is the way forward.
