Does the geometryService.Project() method work with polygons? According to the documentation, it should work for any geometries, but I can only get it to work with points. When I try using it to reproject a polygon, it returns nothing.

Yes it works with all geometry types. Please paste an email of your code. You can also try the rest service directly to make sure you are getting the syntax right.
Starting at version 2.0 of the API the input to the project method was switched from a graphic to a geometry. In your code it looks like you are attempting to project the graphic, try this instead: geometryService.project([ shpPolygon ], m_spref_Out);
However, it looks like you are projecting from geographic to web mercator. If so you do not need to use project. The API contains client-side utility objects that allow you to project from geographic to web mercator and vice-versa. Here's an example:
var geom = esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(geometryToProject);
Here is a portion of the code:
{ // Create the spatial reference objects: m_spref_In = new SpatialReference(4326); // GCS_WGS_1984 m_spref_Out = new SpatialReference(102113); // WGS_1984_Web_Mercator
shpPolygon = ac_Polygons[i_ShapeNum]
// Create the graphic object: myGraphic = new Graphic(); myGraphic.geometry = shpPolygon.toPolygon(); geometryService.project([ myGraphic ], m_spref_Out);
We are still using version 1.3 of the API. The client had been using geographicToWebMercator, but now wants to be able to use other projections in addition to Web Mercator.
