When communicating with a server via webservices, I need to view and set the
timezone information for a simple object (it contains one DateTime and one
string).

Is there a way to force the DateTime part into a string on the client size,
so I can examine the contents (custom serializer/deserializer?)?

After about two days straight, I'm getting more familiar with XML and
webservices. However most of the examples that seem close to what I'm trying
to do are written with respect to files not webservices, or they involve
modifications on the server side.

I have several VS generated webservice references in my client side project
which have many methods based on this simple object (or arrays of them). How
do I get the webservices to use my own serializer/deserializer for this one
custom object type?

Thanks,
