DataBind Jira Assets Data to the DevExpress Data Grid


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

The ADO.NET Provider for Jira Assets 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.

Jira Assets supports connecting and authenticating via the APIToken.

To generate an API token:

  1. Log in to your Atlassian account.
  2. Navigate to Security < Create and manage API Token < Create API Token.

Atlassian generates and then displays the API token.

After you have generated the API token, set these parameters:

  • AuthScheme: APIToken.
  • User: The login of the authenticating user.
  • APIToken: The API token you just generated.

You are now ready to connect and authenticate to Jira Assets.

Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Jira Assets data. The JiraAssetsDataAdapter 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 (JiraAssetsConnection connection = new JiraAssetsConnection( "User=MyUser;APIToken=myApiToken;Url=https://yoursitename.atlassian.net")) { JiraAssetsDataAdapter dataAdapter = new JiraAssetsDataAdapter( "SELECT ID, Name FROM Objects WHERE Label = 'SYD-1'", 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 Jira Assets data. The JiraAssetsDataAdapter 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 (JiraAssetsConnection connection = new JiraAssetsConnection( "User=MyUser;APIToken=myApiToken;Url=https://yoursitename.atlassian.net")) { JiraAssetsDataAdapter JiraAssetsDataAdapter1 = new JiraAssetsDataAdapter("SELECT ID, Name FROM Objects WHERE Label = 'SYD-1'", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); JiraAssetsDataAdapter1.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; }
