How to connect to SQL Server with EJ2 PivotGrid
1 min read
The following steps explain how to connect and retrieve the data from SQL Database and then bind the data with pivot grid.
Step 1:
The following code snippet illustrates retrieving the data from SQL database.
C#
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
connection.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, connection);
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
adapter.Fill(dataTable);
for (var i = 0; i < dataTable.Rows.Count; i++)
{
for (var j = 0; j < dataTable.Rows[i].ItemArray.Length; j++)
{
dataTable.Rows[i].ItemArray[j] = dataTable.Rows[i].ItemArray[j].ToString().Trim();
}
}
ViewBag.data = dataTable;
Step 2:
After retrieving the data from database, bind it to the pivot grid using the <e-dataSource data> property.
CSHTML
<ejs-pivotview id="pivotview"> <e-datasource data="@ViewBag.data"></e-datasource> </ejs-pivotview>
The following screenshot displays a simple pivot grid bounded to data from SQL Database. Here, ‘Country’ field in row, ‘Product’ field in column, and ‘Amount’ field in value are bounded. Check complete code from the sample, which is attached in the following link.
