Tip

For information on how to use the DashboardConfigurator‘s API, see the following topic: Server-Side API Overview.

The DataLoading event is raised when the dashboard needs to load data from a data source assigned using the DashboardObjectDataSource. Use the event parameter’s DataLoadingEventArgs.Data property to provide data for this data source. This object should implement the IEnumerable or IListSource interface.

For other data source types (for instance, DashboardSqlDataSource or DashboardOlapDataSource), you can handle the DashboardConfigurator.ConfigureDataConnection event to customize connection parameters.

Example

This example shows how to bind the ASP.NET MVC Dashboard extension to the Object Data Source and supply it with data using the DashboardConfigurator.DataLoading event. To use the created data source, run the application and create a new dashboard.

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

<div style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0; top:0; bottom:0;">
    @Html.DevExpress().Dashboard(settings => {
    settings.Name = "Dashboard";
    settings.Width = Unit.Percentage(100);
    settings.Height = Unit.Percentage(100);
}).GetHtml()
</div>
