# GanttView for WinForms Overview

## Content

Managing complex projects can be quite tedious and requires a lot of effort, but **GanttView** makes it a lot easier for you by managing your project's schedule. It provides the users with a Microsoft Project-like user experience for effective project schedule management. The GanttView generates a schedule for the provided list of tasks, durations, and constraints and presents it in a form of a graphical diagram, that is, GanttChart. The chart then plots the tasks to be performed on the vertical axis, and the time intervals on the horizontal axis. Moreover, it provides additional support for managing resources, constraints, dependencies, styles, and much more. Not just this, the control also provides an extensive design-time support to make your programming tasks a lot easier.

The GanttView control can bind with any of the .NET sources such as ADO.NET or an Entity Framework. It also lets you define the tasks manually when in the unbound mode. It also provides many advanced features such as task-tracking, customizing working time, advanced filtering, and much more. Other than this, you can easily customize the shape, pattern, and color for each bar style.
