namespace DashboardMVC {

            DashboardFileStorage dashboardFileStorage = new DashboardFileStorage("~/App_Data/Dashboards");
            DashboardConfigurator.Default.SetDashboardStorage(dashboardFileStorage);
            DataSourceInMemoryStorage dataSourceStorage = new DataSourceInMemoryStorage();
            // Registers an Extract Data Source.
            DashboardExtractDataSource extractDataSource = new DashboardExtractDataSource("Extract Data Source");
            extractDataSource.ConnectionName = "Extract Data Source ID";
            dataSourceStorage.RegisterDataSource("extractDataSource", extractDataSource.SaveToXml());
            DashboardConfigurator.Default.SetDataSourceStorage(dataSourceStorage);

               if (e.ConnectionName == "Extract Data Source ID") {
                ExtractDataSourceConnectionParameters extractParams = new ExtractDataSourceConnectionParameters(HostingEnvironment.MapPath(@"~/App_Data/SalesPersonExtract.dat"));
                e.ConnectionParameters = extractParams;
            }
