Converting Between Similar Classes in ArcObjects and WPF Runtime Libraries (C#)?

Question

There seems to be an "impedance mismatch" (if I can borrow the term) between similar classes in ArcObjects and the WPF runtime libraries. For example, there is a ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polyline in the WPF runtime and a ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPolyline (and corresponding PolylineClass) in ArcObjects.

I want to be able to do something like this (or at least similar):

var poly = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polyline();
var ipoly = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.PolylineClass();

// stuff happens

poly = ipoly;

Is there an easy way to convert between the two? Or am I going to have to write some deep copy methods?
