DataBind SurveyMonkey Data to the DevExpress Data Grid
Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for SurveyMonkey with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide SurveyMonkey data to a chart.
The ADO.NET Provider for SurveyMonkey 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.
SurveyMonkey uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. See the Getting Started section in the help documentation for a guide.
Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with SurveyMonkey data. The SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter 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 (SurveyMonkeyConnection connection = new SurveyMonkeyConnection(
"OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) {
SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter(
"SELECT RespondentId, ChoiceId FROM MySurvey_Responses", 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[] { "ChoiceId" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "RespondentId";
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 SurveyMonkey data. The SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter 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 (SurveyMonkeyConnection connection = new SurveyMonkeyConnection(
"OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;CallbackURL=http://localhost:portNumber;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH"))
{
SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter1 = new SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter("SELECT RespondentId, ChoiceId FROM MySurvey_Responses", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
SurveyMonkeyDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "ChoiceId" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "RespondentId";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
