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

Windows Forms Controls
The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Streak data. The StreakDataAdapter 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 (StreakConnection connection = new StreakConnection(
"ApiKey=8c84j9b4j54762ce809ej6a782d776j3;")) {
StreakDataAdapter dataAdapter = new StreakDataAdapter(
"SELECT UserKey, Email FROM Users WHERE Email = 'user@domain.com'", 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[] { "Email" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "UserKey";
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 Streak data. The StreakDataAdapter 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 (StreakConnection connection = new StreakConnection(
"ApiKey=8c84j9b4j54762ce809ej6a782d776j3;"))
{
StreakDataAdapter StreakDataAdapter1 = new StreakDataAdapter("SELECT UserKey, Email FROM Users WHERE Email = 'user@domain.com'", connection);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
StreakDataAdapter1.Fill(table);
DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series);
series.DataSource = table;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Email" });
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "UserKey";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true;
}
