Should I bind directly to objects returned from the web service?

Question

Do I have to bind directly to objects returned from the web service, or do I have client-side objects that I bind to my gridcontrols? For example, if I have a service that returns a Car object, if I have a client-side car object that I populate with values ​​from the Webservice Car object? What is considered best practice? In C #, do I need to mark my classes as serializable or do something special for them?

That way you can tell VS to use your own classes instead of generating a proxy class.

Well, when I think about it, this is almost the same solution proposed by Rob Cooper, with a slight twist, that you will not write the Facade layer yourself but will use VS as this layer.
