Standard ADO.NET Access to MarkLogic

The MarkLogic ADO.NET Provider offers the most natural way to access MarkLogic data from any .NET application. Simply use MarkLogic Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the MarkLogic Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for MarkLogic hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The MarkLogic Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB, including: MarkLogicConnection, MarkLogicCommand, MarkLogicDataAdapter, MarkLogicDataReader, MarkLogicDataSource, MarkLogicParameter, etc. Because of this you can now access MarkLogic data in an easy, familiar way.

For example:

using (MarkLogicConnection conn = new MarkLogicConnection("...")) {
	string select = "SELECT * FROM NoSQLDB";
	MarkLogicCommand cmd = new MarkLogicCommand(select, conn);
	MarkLogicDataAdapter adapter = new MarkLogicDataAdapter(cmd);
	using (adapter) {
		DataTable table = new DataTable();
		adapter.Fill(table);		
		...
	}
}


ADO.NET Provider Performance

With traditional approaches to remote access, performance bottlenecks can spell disaster for applications. Regardless if an application is created for internal use, a commercial project, web, or mobile application, slow performance can rapidly lead to project failure. Accessing data from any remote source has the potential to create these problems. Common issues include:

  1. Network Connections - Slow network connections and latency issues are common in mobile applications.
  2. Service Delays - Delays due to service interruptions, resulting in server hardware or software updates.
  3. Large Data - Intentional or unintentional requests for large amounts of data.
  4. Disconnects - Complete loss of network connectivity.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for MarkLogic solves many of these issues with support for replication queries that can be used to sync data to local databases, greatly improving the performance and dramatically reduce application bottlenecks.

More information about ADO.NET Provider performance capabilities are available in the included documentation.

Visual Studio Integration & Server Explorer

Working with the new MarkLogic ADO.NET Provider is easy. As a fully-managed .NET Data Provider, the MarkLogic Data Provider integrates seamlessly with the Visual Studio development environment as well as any .NET application.

As an ADO.NET Data Provider, MarkLogic ADO.NET Provider can be used to access and explore MarkLogic data directly from the Visual Studio Server Explorer.

It's easy. As a standard ADO.NET adapter, developers can connect the Server Explorer to MarkLogic ADO.NET Provider just like connecting to any standard database.

  • Add a new Data Connection from the Server Explorer and select the MarkLogic Data Source
  • Configure the basic connection properties to access your MarkLogic account data.

Explore all of the data available! MarkLogic ADO.NET Provider makes it easy to access live MarkLogic data from Visual Studio.

  • After configuring the connection, explore the feeds, views, and services provided by the MarkLogic Data Source.
  • These constructs return live MarkLogic data that developers can work with directly from within Visual Studio!

Developer Integration: Databind to MarkLogic

Connecting Web, Desktop, and Mobile .NET applications with MarkLogic is just like working with SQL Server. It is even possible to integrate MarkLogic ADO.NET Provider into applications without writing code.

Developers are free to access the MarkLogic ADO.NET Provider in whatever way they like best. Either visually through the Visual Studio Winforms or Webforms designers, or directly through code.

  • Developers can connect the MarkLogic Data Source directly to form components by configuring the object's smart tags.
  • Add a new Data Connection from the Server Explorer and select the MarkLogic Data Source. Then, select the feed, view, or services you would like to connect the object to.

Done! It's just like connecting to SQL Server.

  • Once the object is bound to the data source, applications can easily interact with MarkLogic data with full read/write (CRUD) support.
