I haven't been able to find any examples of this, which is frustrating, since I believe this should be an easy task. I want to display a canvas (or any other sprite) which simply places a gray overlay over the entire grid/list with some message in the middle. In java this would be as easy as

This is where using an ArrayCollection of ValueObjects (VO), comes in handy. The VO class structure/type in the client maps to a class in the web service. So when you pass the ArrayCollection, the web service knows what the structure of the objects is, and can deal with them appropriately.
