Microsoft OneDrive ADO.NET Provider

Rapidly create and deploy powerful .NET applications that integrate with Microsoft OneDrive.



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

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft OneDrive implements standard ADO.NET data access components that can be used with third-party controls. The standard ADO.NET process for databinding can be followed to enable bidirectional access to live data from UI controls. In this article we show how to use the CData components to databind to the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls; you will databind to a chart that displays current data.

OneDrive uses the OAuth authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, you will need to create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties. See the OAuth section of the Help documentation for an authentication guide.

Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Microsoft OneDrive data. The OneDriveDataAdapter 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 (OneDriveConnection connection = new OneDriveConnection( "OAuthClientId=MyApplicationId;OAuthClientSecret=MySecretKey;OAuthCallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) { OneDriveDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OneDriveDataAdapter( "SELECT Id, Name FROM Files WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB'", 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[] { "Name" }); 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 Microsoft OneDrive data. The OneDriveDataAdapter 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 (OneDriveConnection connection = new OneDriveConnection( "OAuthClientId=MyApplicationId;OAuthClientSecret=MySecretKey;OAuthCallbackURL=http://localhost:33333;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) { OneDriveDataAdapter OneDriveDataAdapter1 = new OneDriveDataAdapter("SELECT Id, Name FROM Files WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB'", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); OneDriveDataAdapter1.Fill(table); DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar); WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series); series.DataSource = table; series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Name" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "Id"; series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical; ((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true; }
