Power BI XMLA ADO.NET Provider
Rapidly create and deploy powerful .NET applications that integrate with Power BI XMLA.
Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Power BI XMLA with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Power BI XMLA data to a chart.
The CData ADO.NET Provider for Power BI XMLA 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, set the Url property to a valid PowerBIXMLA workspace. For instance, powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/CData.
Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Power BI XMLA data. The PowerBIXMLADataAdapter 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 (PowerBIXMLAConnection connection = new PowerBIXMLAConnection(
"URL=powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/CData;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) {
PowerBIXMLADataAdapter dataAdapter = new PowerBIXMLADataAdapter(
"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 Power BI XMLA data. The PowerBIXMLADataAdapter 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 (PowerBIXMLAConnection connection = new PowerBIXMLAConnection(
"URL=powerbi://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/CData;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH"))
{
PowerBIXMLADataAdapter PowerBIXMLADataAdapter1 = new PowerBIXMLADataAdapter("SELECT Country, Education FROM Customer WHERE Country = 'Australia'", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
PowerBIXMLADataAdapter1.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;
}
