Please look at this sample which is demonstrating how to display pie chart in maptips and how to use pie chart as symbol.

Generally speaking, you have three choice to achieve your target:
1. InfoWindow/MapTip. Put your any chart controls in InfoWindow/MapTip, it reasonable and good practice, but you need to click or put mouse over this graphic to show the chart.
2. Extend the MarkerSymbol class. This means set the chart as a symbol itself of a graphic.
3. Using the ElementLayer, treat each chart control as an UIElement and pin each one on a fixed map point.

Sorry, there is no ready to use code for this two methods now. But you can read following related links, hope this will be helpful.
For method 2, please reference to online symbol gallery to look at how to custom a map symbol.

For method 3, here is a sample to demonstrate how to add UIElement to ElementLayer in xaml, you can also do this in code. And just consider your chart control as an UIElement.

Here is a Chinese blog showing the final image of the two methods. http://blog.newnaw.com/?p=480

Hello,
I have downloaded and got the sample working for states layer.  Trying to do something similar State County layer.  I have created a map service which has County polygons and some summarized values which I need to do a pie chart for.  I can't figure out what I'm missing.  Here's what I have for my Map tag
<esri:Map x:Name="mapView" Extent="-96,33,-86,30">
            <esri:Map.Layers>
                <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="StreetMapLayer"
                      Url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer" />
                <esri:FeatureLayer ID="StatesPolygonFeatureLayer"
                      Url="http://myserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Maps/CM/MapServer" 
                      FeatureSymbol="{StaticResource LightFillSymbol}"
                      UpdateCompleted="FeatureLayer_UpdateCompleted">
                    <esri:FeatureLayer.OutFields>
                        <system:String>COUNTY</system:String>
                        <system:String>BLACK</system:String>
                        <system:String>WHITE</system:String>
                        </esri:FeatureLayer.OutFields>
                    <esri:FeatureLayer.MapTip>
                        <Grid>
                            <Grid.Background>
                                <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
                                    <GradientStop Color="#AA333333"/>
                                    <GradientStop Color="#AAEEEEEE" Offset="1"/>
                                </LinearGradientBrush>
                            </Grid.Background>
                            <pieChartSymbology:PieChartMapTip Name="pieChart" 
                                                              ChartTitle="{Binding [COUNTY], Mode=OneWay}" 
                                                              LegendTitle="Legend">
                                <pieChartSymbology:PieChartMapTip.PieElements>
                                    <pieChartSymbology:PieElement FieldName="BLACK" DisplayName="BLACK" />
                                    <pieChartSymbology:PieElement FieldName="WHITE" DisplayName="WHITE" />
                                </pieChartSymbology:PieChartMapTip.PieElements>
                            </pieChartSymbology:PieChartMapTip>
                        </Grid>
                    </esri:FeatureLayer.MapTip>
                </esri:FeatureLayer>

                <esri:GraphicsLayer ID="StatesCentroidGraphicsLayer"/>

            </esri:Map.Layers>
        </esri:Map>

I also created a Geometry service and have referenced it in .cs file for graphics layer. So far I dont see anything other than just base map (Streetmaplayer) 😞

Please help!!!

<esri:FeatureLayer ID="StatesPolygonFeatureLayer"
Url="http://myserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Maps/CM/MapServer"

Your URL is not correct for a feature layer. You have to add the layerID.
For example
Url="http://myserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Maps/CM/MapServer/3"
