DataBind Azure Active Directory Data to the DevExpress Data Grid
Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Azure Active Directory with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Azure Active Directory data to a chart.
The ADO.NET Provider for Azure Active Directory by CData incorporates conventional ADO.NET data access components compatible with third-party controls. You can adhere to the standard ADO.NET data binding procedures to establish two-way access to real-time data through UI controls. This article will demonstrate the utilization of CData components for data binding with DevExpress UI Controls (Windows Forms and Web controls), specifically binding to a chart that visualizes live data.
Azure Active Directory uses the OAuth authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, you will need to create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties. See the OAuth section in the Help documentation for an authentication guide.
Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Azure Active Directory data. The AzureADDataAdapter binds to the Series property of the chart control. The Diagram property of the control defines the x- and y-axes as the column names.
using (AzureADConnection connection = new AzureADConnection(
"OAuthClientId=MyApplicationId;OAuthClientSecret=MySecretKey;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) {
AzureADDataAdapter dataAdapter = new AzureADDataAdapter(
"SELECT id, availabilityStatus FROM Domains WHERE isVerified = TRUE", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
dataAdapter.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series();
chartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "availabilityStatus" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "id";
series.ValueScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Numerical;
chartControl1.Legend.Visibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
Web Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress Web control with Azure Active Directory data. The AzureADDataAdapter binds to the Series property of the chart; the Diagram property defines the x- and y-axes as the column names.
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
using (AzureADConnection connection = new AzureADConnection(
"OAuthClientId=MyApplicationId;OAuthClientSecret=MySecretKey;CallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH"))
{
AzureADDataAdapter AzureADDataAdapter1 = new AzureADDataAdapter("SELECT id, availabilityStatus FROM Domains WHERE isVerified = TRUE", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
AzureADDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "availabilityStatus" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "id";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
