Parquet ADO.NET Provider

Rapidly create and deploy powerful .NET applications that integrate with Parquet.



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

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Parquet 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.

Connect to your local Parquet file(s) by setting the URI connection property to the location of the Parquet file.

Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Parquet data. The ParquetDataAdapter 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 (ParquetConnection connection = new ParquetConnection( "URI=C:/folder/table.parquet;")) { ParquetDataAdapter dataAdapter = new ParquetDataAdapter( "SELECT Id, Column1 FROM SampleTable_1 WHERE Column2 = 'SAMPLE_VALUE'", 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[] { "Column1" }); 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 Parquet data. The ParquetDataAdapter 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 (ParquetConnection connection = new ParquetConnection( "URI=C:/folder/table.parquet;")) { ParquetDataAdapter ParquetDataAdapter1 = new ParquetDataAdapter("SELECT Id, Column1 FROM SampleTable_1 WHERE Column2 = 'SAMPLE_VALUE'", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); ParquetDataAdapter1.Fill(table); DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar); WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series); series.DataSource = table; series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Column1" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "Id"; series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical; ((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true; }
