I would say that this is a very bad thing though, if anything, you
should provide accessor functions which take the place of properties. It
fits more in line with the nature of the transport, as well as the thinking
behind web services in general.

The technical answer has already been given. However, this sounds to me like you may have a design issue. Why do you want to expose a property as a web service. Remoted calls should be "chunky" in that they send alot of data in one go rather than "chatty" where they send a small amount of data in lots of calls. Properties sound like a very chatty interface to me and lots of network roundtrips = poorly performing cliient application

Well. That's not my problem ;-)
