Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Wave Financial data. The WaveFinancialDataAdapter 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 (WaveFinancialConnection connection = new WaveFinancialConnection(
"InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) {
WaveFinancialDataAdapter dataAdapter = new WaveFinancialDataAdapter(
"SELECT Id, DueDate FROM Invoices WHERE Status = 'SENT'", 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[] { "DueDate" });
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 Wave Financial data. The WaveFinancialDataAdapter 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 (WaveFinancialConnection connection = new WaveFinancialConnection(
"InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH"))
{
WaveFinancialDataAdapter WaveFinancialDataAdapter1 = new WaveFinancialDataAdapter("SELECT Id, DueDate FROM Invoices WHERE Status = 'SENT'", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
WaveFinancialDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "DueDate" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "Id";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
