An interactive Gantt chart sample.

An interactive Gantt chart sample.

GTP.NET lets you visualize and manipulate time based information. GTP.NET includes a collection of user interface components which handle time blocks. The time blocks are displayed in a Gantt chart or a schema view. The times are connected to an owner, for example a person or an activity in a project. It can also be used to display dependencies and collisions between times, which gives the end user a graphical way to view and modify the project.

Updates in V3.2.8

  • Grid.cs
    Bug in Grid-Text-Search for readonly cells - they did no longer clear other selections when navigating to new focus; Fixed.
  • NodeDataConnect.cs
    When a complete DataSet is cleared, sub views may contain null in their keys and an exception is thrown; Handled
  • DateScaler.cs
    Bug in datescaler made scrolling slow for FlipView=true (ScheduleMode)
  • TimeItemDataConnect.cs
    Index in event was higher that CurrencyManager.Count giving strange results in certain cases.
  • Gantt.cs
    When disposing the UpdateSubComponents could get called in ASP.NET this gave exception; Fixed.
  • Gantt_ASP.cs
    PartialCaching attribute removed from Gantt_ASP; it should make no difference on IIS7 since it was already given a 0 second caching criteria, but it fixes an issue for IIS6 when redirecting back to Gantt page from a Gantt Page (gave intermitent Gantt_ASP==null exceptions)
    Tree button is now VAlligned center.
    New property ZIndexValueForDateScaler;This value is default 999, the DateScaler Scrollbuttons will get a Z-Index this value + 1.

VARCHART XGantt adds VS2010 support

Hierarchical chart in VARCHART XGantt .NET.

Hierarchical chart in VARCHART XGantt .NET.

Version 4.4 adds visual help when moving nodes, resource scheduling enhancements and two-tone color gradients.

VARCHART XGantt is a graphical charting WinForms software component for visualizing critical business activities. It offers clear, concise and detailed process flows. Identification, tracking, scheduling and allocation of tasks and resources over time is also possible. You can create powerful and intuitive interactions that allow your customers to adapt the diagram without editing the data. VARCHART XGantt .NET Edition may be used for in-house applications as well as for products or applications to be sold to third parties.

The following editions are available:

Updates in V4.4

  • Time slot for layer movement can be limited
    Layers can now be defined to move horizontally merely within a limited time slot. For each individual layer, data fields can be defined to which the layer definition refers. These settings can be made either by the property pages or via the API.
  • Visual help for nodes moving
    In an optimized node arrangement nodes may have to move to different sub-rows. A position-dependent mouse cursor shape now will indicate the sub-row to which the node is going to move. In addition, it can be set whether or not empty sub-rows should be safeguarded.
  • Enhancements to resource scheduling
    Lead and follow-up times that are not linked to resource occupancy can now be defined. The resource scheduler module is now also available as a 64-bit component.
  • Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0
    VARCHART XGantt applications can now also be developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The .NET programming samples also are available for the Visual Studio 2010 version. VARCHART XGantt .NET and VARCHART XGantt ASP.NET can be run on the .NET framework versions 2.0/3.0/3.5. Supporting version 4.0 is a new feature of the VARCHART XGantt 4.4 version.
  • Two-tone color gradients
    Table cells and time scale ribbons now also support two-tone color gradients. Before, a color gradient could only show lighter or darker shades of a single color.
  • Enhancements to Daylight Saving Time
    In the new version, each ribbon and each line grid individually may or may not consider daylight saving time.
  • New layer shapes
    Four new layer shapes simplify the handling of summary bars, since the latter do not have to be assembled by single layers any more. In addition, new layer shapes that show rounded corners were added. They can be combined into more complex node shapes.
  • New options for print output
    In charts that show a hierarchy or grouped nodes, for each level you can define whether a page break should occur either after each group or after the last group which completely fits on a page. By the API or by the printing dialog you can define a time scale section of which the chart is to be printed. The column widths and the position of the separating line between the table and the diagram can be adopted by the printing output if desired. The unit of the page margins in the Page Settings dialog can now be toggled between centimeters and inches via the API.
  • Events to configure axes
    Apart from a numeric axis you can now also apply an annotation axis to a histogram. Two new ObjectDraw events allow configuring the axis' contents by your own programming code instead of using pre-defined standard annotations.
  • More versatile filter conditions
    Filter conditions can now be nested. This simplifies the structure of voluminous conditions on data based formatting. A new API method allows analyzing filter conditions in advance. So you can check whether a filter will deliver the value True or False on a certain activity.
  • Licensing
    Handling developers' licenses has been simplified. A licensing file may now contain several developer licenses at a time. The advantage of this is that to a project using code management systems, no developer specific files have to be allocated any more. In addition, corporate licenses do not refer to developers any more.

    • allow resizing of time bars
  • Extended ItemMouseOver Event
  • Value Point, Font and ForeColor properties

Details of What's New in v4.0:

Schedule Notes
Notes are images/icons that can be attached to a schedule item. Their purpose is to alert the user to an item for that schedule. They are fixed in place and may not be moved with the mouse. Schedule Notes can either be fixed to the schedule so they are always visible, or they can be set to a specific date and time. Notes support tool tips, and respond to mouse over and click events.

Line Arrows
Line arrows are directional arrows that appear at the left and/or right side of the schedule to indicate other time bars that exist before or after the current view in the schedule. Their default appearance is a solid colored triangle, which can be replaced with custom images. They respond to mouse over and click events.

New methods:
TimeBarsBeforeSchedule and TimeBarsAfterSchedule are used in conjuction with Line Arrows to determine what time bars exist outside of the current view.
ScrollToDateTime method allows the schedule presentation to be changeed, bringing timebars into view. This makes it easy to navigate to other time bars by clicking on a line arrow.

New Properties:

  • AllowHorzMoves - Determines if time bars can be moved horizontally with the mouse
  • AllowNewBars - Determines if new time bars can be created with the mouse.
  • AllResizeBars - Determines if time bars can be resized with the mouse.
  • GuideDashPattern - For setting default dash patterns for all Guide Lines.
  • GuideLineWidth - For setting new default widths for all Guide Lines.
  • ValuePoint Event has 2 new properties - Font and ForeColor. An override to the default values.
  • TimeBarMouseEnter and TimeBarMouseLeave events. Two new properties that allow the developer to determine where a time bar action took place.
  • TimeBarsAt : Accepts a mouse point and returns a collection of all time bars at a given point.
  • dbiScheduleObject contains a new property called MajorTimeLine allows for the presentation (or not) of a full vertical line between major time segments on the Time Scale Ruler.
  • If a line item is marked as read only, vertically dragging a time bar is not allowed. Previously a drag motion would allow the timebar to show in the drag and then snap back on the release. Now, a timebar cannot be dragged when set to read only.
  • ItemMouse Over - an event that now reports when the cursor is over a guideline.
