how to Iterate GanttView TaskSource

[Luis Gilbert]

I'm trying to store a GanttView TaskSource into my SQL database.
How can I iterate GanttView TaskSource (considering that TaskSource could have N deep levels)?
Is there any sample project?
Is there a better approach to store this data into database?

Thanks!

Hi Luis,

You can check the following forum thread where we have attached a sample project which demonstrates how to use RadGanttView with a DB as source:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/ganttview/sql-database.aspx

I'm also attaching the archived project to the post. The archive also includes the SQL script for creating the needed initial DB table.

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions let us know.

I appreciate your extremely fast reply. Thanks!

But actually, I was looking for a way to iterate through all tasks contained in TaskSource.
The main reason for this is that I need to make some very custom validations before data goes to SQL database.

So, basically I need to recursively iterate through all taks in TaskSource considering that user can create N levels..

I was thinking something like "GetAllItemContainers" method mentioned in this link:

Thanks again!

Hi Luis,

Unfortunately the GanttView doesn't provide such a built in method, but you could easily implement a custom one. You will just need to go through all the Children of each task recursively and do the custom validation. I have prepared a sample project which demonstrates how this can be achieved (check the Output window).

Hope this works for you.
