using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using DevExpress.DashboardCommon;
using DevExpress.DataAccess.ConnectionParameters;
using DevExpress.DataAccess.Sql;
using DevExpress.XtraEditors;

namespace Dashboard_CreateBubbleMap {

            InitializeComponent();
        }

            Dashboard dashboard = new Dashboard();
            DashboardSqlDataSource dataSource = new DashboardSqlDataSource(); 
            dataSource.ConnectionParameters =
                new XmlFileConnectionParameters(@"..\..\Data\DashboardEnergyStatictics.xml");
            SelectQuery sqlQuery = SelectQueryFluentBuilder
                .AddTable("Countries")
                .SelectColumns("Latitude", "Longitude", "Production", "Import", "Country")
                .Build("Countries");

            dataSource.Queries.Add(sqlQuery);
            dashboard.DataSources.Add(dataSource);

            BubbleMapDashboardItem bubbleMap = new BubbleMapDashboardItem();
            bubbleMap.DataSource = dashboard.DataSources[0];
            bubbleMap.DataMember = "Countries";

            bubbleMap.TooltipDimensions.Add(new Dimension("Country"));

            CustomizeScale(bubbleMap);
            ShowLegends(bubbleMap);

            dashboard.Items.Add(bubbleMap);

            rangeStops.Add(2000);
            customScale.RangeStops.AddRange(rangeStops);

            map.ColorScale = customScale;
        }
        private void ShowLegends(BubbleMapDashboardItem map) {
            map.Legend.Visible = true;
            map.Legend.Orientation = MapLegendOrientation.Horizontal;
