How to render PivotGrid component in SQL database with .NET WebForms?

3 mins read

This KB document explains how to render Pivot component from SQL Database using VB.

Solution:

You can render Pivot components (in relational server mode) in VB by using DataTable as DataSource. You can also perform the operations supported by respective Pivot controls. The following code samples demonstrate this.

Step 1

In Relational WebAPI controller, add the following class. Using the GetSQLResult method, you can get the data from local database.

''' Local Database Connection 
Public Class DbaseQuery
Public Function GetSQLResult()
Dim conSTR As String = "Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=" & AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "App_Data\Database1.mdf;Integrated Security=True"
Dim xquery As String = "SELECT * FROM table1"
Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(conSTR)
sqlConn.Open()
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(xquery, sqlConn)
Dim da As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim dt As DataTable = New DataTable()
da.Fill(dt)
For i = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
 For j = 0 To dt.Rows(i).ItemArray.Length - 1
dt.Rows(i).ItemArray(j) = dt.Rows(i).ItemArray(j).ToString().Trim()
Next
Next
 
Return dt
End Function
End Class

 

Step 2

Add the following namespace.

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

 

Step 3

Pass the above DataTable as parameter, which is returned from the GetSQLResult method, in every action like InitializeClient, FetchMembers, nodeDropped, etc., of respective Pivot component.

Public Class RelationalGridController
Inherits ApiController
 
Dim dbquery As DbaseQuery = New DbaseQuery()
 
<System.Web.Http.ActionName("InitializeGrid")> _
<System.Web.Http.HttpPost> _
Public Function InitializeGrid(jsonResult As Dictionary(Of String, Object)) As Dictionary(Of String, Object)
 
//…
 
dict = htmlHelper.GetJsonData(jsonResult("action").ToString(), dbquery.GetSQLResult())
Return dict
End Function
 
<System.Web.Http.ActionName("FetchMembers")> _
<System.Web.Http.HttpPost> _
Public Function FetchMembers(jsonResult As Dictionary(Of String, Object)) As Dictionary(Of String, Object)
//…
dict = htmlHelper.GetJsonData(jsonResult("action").ToString(), dbquery.GetSQLResult(), jsonResult("headerTag").ToString(), jsonResult("sortedHeaders").ToString())
Return dict
End Function
 
//….
