Get the Report →DataBind Neo4J Data to the DevExpress Data Grid
Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Neo4J with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Neo4J data to a chart.
The ADO.NET Provider for Neo4J 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.
To connect to Neo4j, set the following connection properties:
- Server: The server hosting the Neo4j instance.
- Port: The port on which the Neo4j service is running. The provider connects to port 7474 by default.
- User: The username of the user using the Neo4j instance.
- Password: The password of the user using the Neo4j instance.
Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Neo4J data. The Neo4jDataAdapter 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 (Neo4jConnection connection = new Neo4jConnection(
"Server=localhost;Port=7474;User=my_user;Password=my_password;")) {
Neo4jDataAdapter dataAdapter = new Neo4jDataAdapter(
"SELECT CategoryId, CategoryName FROM ProductCategory WHERE CategoryOwner = 'CData Software'", 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[] { "CategoryName" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "CategoryId";
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 Neo4J data. The Neo4jDataAdapter 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 (Neo4jConnection connection = new Neo4jConnection(
"Server=localhost;Port=7474;User=my_user;Password=my_password;"))
{
Neo4jDataAdapter Neo4jDataAdapter1 = new Neo4jDataAdapter("SELECT CategoryId, CategoryName FROM ProductCategory WHERE CategoryOwner = 'CData Software'", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
Neo4jDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "CategoryName" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "CategoryId";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
