Hi For creating Ria Domain Services you will need : 1. Add 2 references using System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Hosting; using System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Server; 2. to access domain service add attribute above class name [ EnableClientAccess ()] The following is the Employee Domain Service which will return a list of employees [EnableClientAccess()] public class EmployeeDomainService : DomainService { public List GetEmployees() { List employees = new List (); EmployeeDTO employee = new EmployeeDTO(); employee.ID = 1; employee.FirstName = Jason; employee.LastName = Apergis; employees.Add(employee); employee = new EmployeeDTO(); employee.ID = 2; employee.FirstName = Ethan; employee.LastName = Apergis; employees.Add(employee); employees.Add(employee); return employees; } } for Accessing service from client side add namespace of web part and then access: private EmployeeDomainContext _context = null; public EmployeeViewModel() //constructor of client { _context = new EmployeeDomainContext(); _context.Load(_context.GetEmployeesQuery()); } Like this you can return values for Pie Chart for binding too.
