Gantt chart example

Hello,

I need to create a Gantt chart for project management, on an ASP page: on X axis I need Date and on Y axis a list of projects. It should look similar to a MS Project Gantt chart.
I looked in the documentation but the Gantt chart example does not contain code samples demonstrating how to achieve this.
Can you please provide a sample project?

I am using the latest Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2010

In order to get DateTime variables bound to one of your axis you will have to look into the Numerical Axis demo. As you can see this converts the date to something that is readable by the data engine (a float) and you can assign that to your axis. All you will have to change really is the type of the chart (Gantt in your case) and the logic in that demo should be fine.

Thanks for your help Schlurk. I was able to create the chart; however, I have now a different problem.

1. If I need to display Gantt information on 50-100 projects, then the chart becomes almost impossible to read as there is too much information and it does not support scrolling in Gantt mode.
Therefore I need a way to resize it. Is this possible?

2. Is there a way to draw a vertical (or horizontal) line on the chart corresponding to 'today's date'?

Hello M. R.,

RadChart is rendered in html as an image so there are two ways to resize it. You can set its size (width and height) in the server-side code or you can resize the image within the browser as shown in this code library. Note, that resizing an image with javascript might lead to a distortion.

The line -- you can take advantage of the Marked Zones feature (example is available here). Providing equal values for one of the pairs [ValueStartX, ValueEndX] or [ValueStartY, ValueEndY] would lead to displaying only the border, here is an example:
