How do you create a Gantt Chart in ASP.NET 5?

[Nizar]

I have created an MVC ASP.NET 5 Web API project  which uses DNX 4.5.1

I am trying to create a gantt chart in my .cshtml view file via the following code:

<div id="gantt">
    @(Html.Kendo().Gantt<GanttData, DependencyViewModel>()
                .Name("Gantt")
                .DataSource(ds => ds
                    .Read(read => read
                        .Action("Tasks", "Home")
                    )
                    .Model(m =>
                    {
                        m.Id(f => f.TaskID);
                        m.ParentId(f => f.ParentID);
                        m.OrderId(f => f.OrderId);
                        m.Field(f => f.Expanded).DefaultValue(true);
                    })
                )
                .DependenciesDataSource(ds => ds
                    .Read(read => read
                        .Action("Dependencies", "Home")
                    )
                    .Model(m =>
                    {
                        m.Id(f => f.DependencyID);
                        m.PredecessorId(f => f.PredecessorID);
                        m.SuccessorId(f => f.SuccessorID);
                        m.Type(f => f.Type);
                    })
                ).Resizable(true)
    )
</div>

The error comes from IHtmlHelper "not containing a definition" for Kendo even though Kendo.Mvc is in my project's references. 

This identical code successfully generates a gantt chart in a ASP.NET 4.5.1 MVC 4 project, however.

Is there a way to create a Gantt chart in an ASP.NET 5 MVC application?

 

Thanks

Hi,

You can find the current releases of the Kendo MVC Core widgets here:
https://github.com/telerik/ui-for-aspnet-mvc-6-demos/releases

The Gantt widget will be included in the next update, which will come after the RC2 of MVC Core is released.

When can we expect a usable beta release or official release for the Gantt widget? (They say RC2 will be released mid-May of this year?)

Hello,

Once the RC2 rolls out we have to fix the current implementation of the wrappers to comply with all the breaking changes that the RC2 contains. Since we can't yet estimate how long this will take, I can't give you a concrete date, but most probably a couple of weeks to a month after the RC2 release.
