IDataSourceStorage Interface

When implemented by a class, represents a storage of the dashboard data sources.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWeb

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v24.2.Web.dll

Declaration

C#

public interface IDataSourceStorage

VB.NET

Public Interface IDataSourceStorage

Related API Members

The following members return IDataSourceStorage objects:

• DashboardConfigurator.DataSourceStorage

Remarks

To create storage of the dashboard data sources available in the Web Dashboard’s UI, call the ASPxDashboard.SetDataSourceStorage / DashboardConfigurator.SetDataSourceStorage method. You can use the in-memory storage (DataSourceInMemoryStorage) or you can implement the IDataSourceStorage interface to create a custom data source storage. Review the following topic for more information: Manage Multi-Tenancy.

Note

Note that data sources created by end-users do not fall into IDataSourceStorage.

The following example illustrates how to configure the Dashboard control for a multi-user environment:
