    ds.Queries.Add(query);
    return ds;
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.DataAccess
Imports DevExpress.DataAccess.ConnectionParameters
Imports DevExpress.DataAccess.Sql
' ...

Private Function BindToData() As SqlDataSource
    ' Create a data source with the required connection parameters.   
    Dim connectionParameters As New Access97ConnectionParameters("../../Data/nwind.mdb", "", "")
    Dim ds As New SqlDataSource(connectionParameters)

    ' Create an SQL query to access the Products table.
    Dim query As New CustomSqlQuery()
    query.Name = "customQuery1"
    query.Sql = "SELECT * FROM Products"

    ' Add the created query to the collection.
    ds.Queries.Add(query)
    Return ds
End Function
