DataBind Parquet Data to the DevExpress Data Grid
Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Parquet with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Parquet data to a chart.
The ADO.NET Provider for Parquet 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.
Connect to your local Parquet file(s) by setting the URI connection property to the location of the Parquet file.
Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Parquet data. The ParquetDataAdapter 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 (ParquetConnection connection = new ParquetConnection(
"URI=C:/folder/table.parquet;")) {
ParquetDataAdapter dataAdapter = new ParquetDataAdapter(
"SELECT Id, Column1 FROM SampleTable_1 WHERE Column2 = 'SAMPLE_VALUE'", 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[] { "Column1" });
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 Parquet data. The ParquetDataAdapter 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 (ParquetConnection connection = new ParquetConnection(
"URI=C:/folder/table.parquet;"))
{
ParquetDataAdapter ParquetDataAdapter1 = new ParquetDataAdapter("SELECT Id, Column1 FROM SampleTable_1 WHERE Column2 = 'SAMPLE_VALUE'", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
ParquetDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Column1" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "Id";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
