This section walks you through the process for achieving data binding in GanttView for .NET framework.

  1. Add Task to the GanttView control and set its properties.
    C#
    Copy Code 
    //Add tasks and set the properties
var task1 = c1GanttView1.Tasks[1];
task1.ConstraintDate = new System.DateTime(2012, 6, 22, 0, 0, 0, 0);
task1.ConstraintType = C1.Win.GanttView.ConstraintType.StartNoEarlierThan;
task1.Duration = 3;
task1.ID = 656460240;
task1.Mode = C1.Win.GanttView.TaskMode.Automatic;
task1.Name = "Pursue a hare";
task1.Start = new System.DateTime(2015, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
var task2 = c1GanttView1.Tasks[2];
task2.ConstraintDate = new System.DateTime(2012, 6, 26, 0, 0, 0, 0);
task2.ConstraintType = C1.Win.GanttView.ConstraintType.StartNoEarlierThan;
task2.Duration = 12;
task2.DurationUnits = C1.Win.GanttView.DurationUnits.Minutes;
task2.ID = 132267904;
task2.Mode = C1.Win.GanttView.TaskMode.Automatic;
task2.Name = "Hit the hare";
task2.Start = new System.DateTime(2015, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0);
var task3 = c1GanttView1.Tasks[4];
task3.ConstraintDate = new System.DateTime(2012, 6, 28, 0, 0, 0, 0);
task3.ConstraintType = C1.Win.GanttView.ConstraintType.StartNoEarlierThan;
task3.Duration = 2;
task3.ID = 1639616200;
task3.Mode = C1.Win.GanttView.TaskMode.Automatic;
task3.Name = "Skin that hare";
task3.Start = new System.DateTime(2015, 4, 6, 9, 12, 0, 0);
var task4 = c1GanttView1.Tasks[6];
task4.ConstraintDate = new System.DateTime(2012, 6, 29, 0, 0, 0, 0);
task4.ConstraintType = C1.Win.GanttView.ConstraintType.StartNoEarlierThan;
task4.Duration = 3;
task4.ID = 1784420689;
task4.Mode = C1.Win.GanttView.TaskMode.Automatic;
task4.Name = "Cook the hare";
task4.Start = new System.DateTime(2015, 4, 8, 9, 12, 0, 0);
var task5 = c1GanttView1.Tasks[7];
task5.ConstraintDate = new System.DateTime(2012, 6, 30, 0, 0, 0, 0);
task5.ConstraintType = C1.Win.GanttView.ConstraintType.StartNoEarlierThan;
task5.Duration = 1;
task5.ID = 1296539678;
task5.Mode = C1.Win.GanttView.TaskMode.Automatic;
task5.Name = "Eat the hare";
task5.Start = new System.DateTime(2015, 4, 13, 9, 12, 0, 0);

  2. Add Resources to the C1GanttView.
    C#
    Copy Code 
    //Add Resources
Resource resource1 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Resource();
Resource resource2 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Resource();
Resource resource3 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Resource();
Resource resource4 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Resource();
resource1.Cost = new decimal(new int[] {
   20000,
   0,
   0,
   131072});
resource1.ID = 457479171;
resource1.Name = "Adam Miller";
resource2.Cost = new decimal(new int[] {
   50000,
   0,
   0,
   131072});
resource2.ID = 574928631;
resource2.Name = "Ruth Radelet";
resource3.Cost = new decimal(new int[] {
   25000,
   0,
   0,
   131072});
resource3.ID = 1258408175;
resource3.Name = "Johnny Jewel";
resource4.Cost = new decimal(new int[] {
   40000,
   0,
   0,
   131072});
resource4.ID = 187715318;
resource4.Name = "Nat Walker";
this.c1GanttView1.Resources.Add(resource1);
this.c1GanttView1.Resources.Add(resource2);
this.c1GanttView1.Resources.Add(resource3);
this.c1GanttView1.Resources.Add(resource4);

  3. Assign resources to the specific task. The added resources can be assigned to a specific task by creating a resource reference.
    C#
    Copy Code 
    //Add Resource Reference
ResourceRef resourceRef1 = new C1.Win.GanttView.ResourceRef();
ResourceRef resourceRef2 = new C1.Win.GanttView.ResourceRef();
ResourceRef resourceRef3 = new C1.Win.GanttView.ResourceRef();
ResourceRef resourceRef4 = new C1.Win.GanttView.ResourceRef();
ResourceRef resourceRef5 = new C1.Win.GanttView.ResourceRef();
ResourceRef resourceRef6 = new C1.Win.GanttView.ResourceRef();
ResourceRef resourceRef7 = new C1.Win.GanttView.ResourceRef();

resourceRef1.Amount = 1;
resourceRef1.ResourceID = 457479171;
resourceRef2.ResourceID = 1258408175;
task1.ResourceRefs.Add(resourceRef1);
task1.ResourceRefs.Add(resourceRef2);
resourceRef3.Amount = 1;
resourceRef3.ResourceID = 187715318;
task2.ResourceRefs.Add(resourceRef3);
resourceRef4.Amount = 1;
resourceRef4.ResourceID = 187715318;
resourceRef5.Amount = 1;
resourceRef5.ResourceID = 1258408175;
task3.ResourceRefs.Add(resourceRef4);
task3.ResourceRefs.Add(resourceRef5);
resourceRef6.Amount = 1;
resourceRef6.ResourceID = 574928631;
task4.ResourceRefs.Add(resourceRef6);
resourceRef7.Amount = 1;
resourceRef7.ResourceID = 457479171;
task5.ResourceRefs.Add(resourceRef7);

  4. Add Predecessors to the tasks.
    C#
    Copy Code 
    //Add predecessors
Predecessor predecessor1 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Predecessor();
Predecessor predecessor2 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Predecessor();
Predecessor predecessor3 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Predecessor();
Predecessor predecessor4 = new C1.Win.GanttView.Predecessor();
predecessor1.PredecessorTaskID = 656460240;
task2.Predecessors.Add(predecessor1); 
predecessor2.PredecessorTaskID = 132267904;
task3.Predecessors.Add(predecessor2);
predecessor3.PredecessorTaskID = 1639616200;
task4.Predecessors.Add(predecessor3);
predecessor4.PredecessorTaskID = 1784420689;
task5.Predecessors.Add(predecessor4);

  5. Configure the GanttView Control. Add the following code to configure the grid.
    C#
    Copy Code 
    gv.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
gv.BackColor = Color.LavenderBlush;
gv.FixedFont = new Font("Microsoft Sans serif", 9, FontStyle.Bold);
