DataBind Twilio Data to the DevExpress Data Grid
Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Twilio with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Twilio data to a chart.
The ADO.NET Provider for Twilio 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.
Use the AccountSid and AuthToken connection properties to access data from your account. You obtain your live credentials on your Twilio account dashboard. Click Account -> Account Settings to obtain your test credentials.
Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Twilio data. The TwilioDataAdapter 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 (TwilioConnection connection = new TwilioConnection(
"AccountSid=MyAccountSid;AuthToken=MyAuthToken;")) {
TwilioDataAdapter dataAdapter = new TwilioDataAdapter(
"SELECT To, Duration FROM Calls", 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[] { "Duration" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "To";
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 Twilio data. The TwilioDataAdapter 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 (TwilioConnection connection = new TwilioConnection(
"AccountSid=MyAccountSid;AuthToken=MyAuthToken;"))
{
TwilioDataAdapter TwilioDataAdapter1 = new TwilioDataAdapter("SELECT To, Duration FROM Calls", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
TwilioDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Duration" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "To";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
