DataBind Presto Data to the DevExpress Data Grid

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.

Getting Started

---

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

In order to authenticate with LDAP, set the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to LDAP.
• User: The username being authenticated with in LDAP.
• Password: The password associated with the User you are authenticating against LDAP with.

Authenticating with Kerberos

In order to authenticate with KERBEROS, set the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to KERBEROS.
• KerberosKDC: The Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user.
• KerberosRealm: The Kerberos Realm used to authenticate the user with.
• KerberosSPN: The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.
• KerberosKeytabFile: The Keytab file containing your pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys.
• 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;
}
