# Insert Task

## Content



GanttView allows you to insert a task at a specific index. You can insert a task using code as well as at run time.

### Insert Task at run time

To insert a task at run time, follow the steps given below:

1.  In the **Task Name** field of the grid, type a task name at the end of the task list.
2.  Press ENTER and the New Task item will appear in the grid.<br />This adds a new task in the task grid.

### Insert Task programmatically

You can insert a task at specific position using **Insert** method of the **Collection** class by passing the index as a parameter.

The below code snippet shows how you can insert a task at a specific index programmatically:

```csharp
TaskCollection tasks = c1GanttView1.Tasks;
        int index = tasks.IndexOf("Task 2");
        if (index >= 0)
        {
            // create a new task
            Task t = new Task();
            tasks.Insert(index, t);
            t.Mode = TaskMode.Automatic;
            t.Name = "New Task";
            t.Duration = 3;
        }
```
