Is there a way to create a WCF DataContract for a 3rd party type?

I go to wcf and am trying to figure out how I am going to declare my data contracts properly. Some of the types I have removed are from a third party that I cannot change. Are attributes the only way to explicitly declare data contracts in wcf? I am aware of the functionality of autodata contracts in 3.5, but the books I read prevent this from happening. And besides, this method assumes that the entire state is publicly available, which is often not the case.

Do you feel that you are not exposing these third party types at your service level? Just create DTOs for them and draw the path to / from if you need. It seems to me that this is cleaner.
