DataBind Presto Data to the DevExpress Data Grid



Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Presto with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Presto data to a chart.

The ADO.NET Provider for Presto 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.

Set the Server and Port connection properties to connect, in addition to any authentication properties that may be required.

To enable TLS/SSL, set UseSSL to true.

Authenticating with LDAP

  • User: The user who is authenticating to Kerberos.
  • Password: The password used to authenticate to Kerberos.

Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Presto data. The PrestoDataAdapter 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 (PrestoConnection connection = new PrestoConnection( "Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;")) { PrestoDataAdapter dataAdapter = new PrestoDataAdapter( "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Customer WHERE Id = '123456789'", 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[] { "LastName" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "FirstName"; 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 Presto data. The PrestoDataAdapter 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 (PrestoConnection connection = new PrestoConnection( "Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;")) { PrestoDataAdapter PrestoDataAdapter1 = new PrestoDataAdapter("SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Customer WHERE Id = '123456789'", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); PrestoDataAdapter1.Fill(table); DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar); WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series); series.DataSource = table; series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "LastName" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "FirstName"; series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical; ((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true; }
