The first article, written by Richard Marsden and entitled "Using ImportData and DisplayDataMap", covers how to use ImportData and DisplayDataMap using C# and is broken into three parts:
Part 1 - The ImportData Method
Part 2 - Introducing DisplayDataMap
Part 3 - DisplayDataMap Parameters
The second article, also by Richard Marsden also covers how to use ImportData and DisplayDataMap, but rather then C#, the code and examples are in Python.
