Quick question for all y'all silverlight buffs..

I need to expose a custom POCO object through ria services.. Well kind of, i could probably get away with doing it over a vanilla web service.. so i dont mind if you tell me to do it over a non-RIA service

It's a bit like this:

```
public partial class Monkey
{
  // etc..
  // This is an entity framework entity
}

public class MonkeyCollection
{
  // This is the POCO
  public string MonthName { get; set; }
  public Monkey MonkeyForMonth1 { get; set; }
  public Monkey MonkeyForMonth2 { get; set; }

  // Keep RIA services quiet about the lack of a "key"
  [Key]
  public int ID { get; set; }
}

// In my service class
public IEnumerable<MonkeyCollection> GetMonkeys()
{
  // Churn the data like butter
}

```

This returns a collection of the POCO's but what it doesn't return is the embedded objects (monkey).

i.e. it returns the primitives (monthname, id) but not the custom objects..

And in fact intellisense in visual studio doesnt even seem to know about those properties on the class..

What should i do?

Thanks
