DataBind CouchDB Data to the DevExpress Data Grid



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

The ADO.NET Provider for CouchDB 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.

Set the following to connect:

  • Url: The Url of your instance. For example: http://localhost:5984
  • User The Apache CouchDB user account used to authenticate.
  • Password The Apache CouchDB password associated with the authenticating user.

Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with CouchDB data. The ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter 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 (ApacheCouchDBConnection connection = new ApacheCouchDBConnection( "Url=http://localhost:5984;User=abc123;Password=abcdef;")) { ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter dataAdapter = new ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter( "SELECT MovieRuntime, MovieRating FROM Movies WHERE MovieRating = 'R'", 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[] { "MovieRating" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "MovieRuntime"; 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 CouchDB data. The ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter 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 (ApacheCouchDBConnection connection = new ApacheCouchDBConnection( "Url=http://localhost:5984;User=abc123;Password=abcdef;")) { ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter1 = new ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter("SELECT MovieRuntime, MovieRating FROM Movies WHERE MovieRating = 'R'", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); ApacheCouchDBDataAdapter1.Fill(table); DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar); WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series); series.DataSource = table; series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "MovieRating" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "MovieRuntime"; series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical; ((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true; }
