Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Google Ad Manager data. The GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter 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 (GoogleAdsManagerConnection connection = new GoogleAdsManagerConnection( "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) { GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter dataAdapter = new GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter( "SELECT Id, Name FROM Orders", 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 Google Ad Manager data. The GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter 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 (GoogleAdsManagerConnection connection = new GoogleAdsManagerConnection( "InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) { GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter1 = new GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter("SELECT Id, Name FROM Orders", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); GoogleAdsManagerDataAdapter1.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; }
