    My custom domain service class method is not being exposed to the client grid but i do not know why. the purpose for the custom function is to return the results of a join of two entities to a domaindatasource to bind to a grid. the following is a method added to the template generated domain service class:

            // CustomerPurchase is defined above - it simply holds data values from join row
        public IQueryable<CustomerPurchase> GetCustomerPurchases()
        {
            var purchases = // linq to retrieve join set
            
            return purchases.AsQueryable<CustomerPurchase>();
        }

    the xaml file does not see this method. does anyone know why?
    the template generated methods are exposed and work correctly.

    there seem to be two problems. to fix them:

    1. annotate custom method as [Query]

    [Query]
    public IQueryable<CustomerPurchase> GetCustomerPurchases()

    2. annotate custom class (T) with [Key]

        public class CustomerPurchase
    {
        public CustomerPurchase()
        {
        }
        [Key]
        public string Title { get; set; }
        // more code
     }

    after rebuilding the solution, the error message disappeared and the grid populated with expected data.
