soap

I'm working on a ASP.NET (C#) site that pulls most of its data from Dynamics CRM over SOAP using Microsoft's CrmService SDK.

I'm at the point where a query has returned an entity with a property of the type Customer. I need to get the name string of that customer record, but cannot figure out how to do so.

By doing a little guess work I figured out that what I have is GUID for the customer. How can I use this GUID to get the customer's name as a string?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
