DataBind Sage 200 Data to the DevExpress Data Grid


Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Sage 200 with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Sage 200 data to a chart.

The ADO.NET Provider for Sage 200 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.

  • Schema: Determines which Sage 200 edition you are connecting to. Specify either StandardUK or ProfessionalUK.
  • Subscription Key: Provides access to the APIs that are used to establish a connection. You will first need to log into the Sage 200 API website and subscribe to the API edition that matches your account. You can do so here: https://developer.columbus.sage.com/docs/services/api/uk. Afterwards, the subscription key may be found in your profile after logging into Sage 200.

Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Sage 200 data. The Sage200DataAdapter 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 (Sage200Connection connection = new Sage200Connection( "SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) { Sage200DataAdapter dataAdapter = new Sage200DataAdapter( "SELECT Id, Code FROM Banks WHERE Code = '12345'", 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[] { "Code" }); 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 Sage 200 data. The Sage200DataAdapter 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 (Sage200Connection connection = new Sage200Connection( "SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH")) { Sage200DataAdapter Sage200DataAdapter1 = new Sage200DataAdapter("SELECT Id, Code FROM Banks WHERE Code = '12345'", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); Sage200DataAdapter1.Fill(table); DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar); WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series); series.DataSource = table; series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Code" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "Id"; series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical; ((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true; }
