Azure Analysis Services ADO.NET Provider
Rapidly create and deploy powerful .NET applications that integrate with Azure Analysis Services.
Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Azure Analysis Services with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Azure Analysis Services data to a chart.
The CData ADO.NET Provider for Azure Analysis Services 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.
To connect to Azure Analysis Services, set the Url property to a valid server, for instance, asazure://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net/server, in addition to authenticating. Optionally, set Database to distinguish which Azure database on the server to connect to.
Azure Analysis Services uses the OAuth authentication standard. OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Azure Analysis Services using the browser. You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. See the Help documentation for more information.
Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Azure Analysis Services data. The AASDataAdapter 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 (AASConnection connection = new AASConnection(
"URL=asazure://REGION.asazure.windows.net/server;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) {
AASDataAdapter dataAdapter = new AASDataAdapter(
"SELECT Country, Education FROM Customer WHERE Country = 'Australia'", 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[] { "Education" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "Country";
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 Azure Analysis Services data. The AASDataAdapter 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 (AASConnection connection = new AASConnection(
"URL=asazure://REGION.asazure.windows.net/server;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH"))
{
AASDataAdapter AASDataAdapter1 = new AASDataAdapter("SELECT Country, Education FROM Customer WHERE Country = 'Australia'", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
AASDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Education" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "Country";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
