Adding Users

Updated on May 7, 2026

RadTaskBoard allows you to define users at control level via the RadTaskBoard.Users collection. It can be achieved either at design time through the smart tag, or programmatically:

Once, there are users in the RadTaskBoard.Users collection at design time, they will be available for adding to the task cards:

Adding Users at Run time

C#
UserInfo user1 = new UserInfo();
user1.FirstName = "Anne";
user1.LastName = "Dodsworth";
user1.ForeColor = Color.Black;
user1.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
user1.Avatar = Properties.Resources.anne;

UserInfo user2 = new UserInfo();
user2.FirstName = "Andrew";
user2.LastName = "Fuller";
user2.Avatar = Properties.Resources.andrew1;

this.radTaskBoard1.Users.Add(user1);
this.radTaskBoard1.Users.Add(user2);
VB.NET
Dim user1 As UserInfo = New UserInfo()
user1.FirstName = "Anne"
user1.ForeColor = Color.Black
user1.BackColor = Color.Yellow
user1.LastName = "Dodsworth"
user1.Avatar = My.Resources.anne

Dim user2 As UserInfo = New UserInfo()
user2.FirstName = "Andrew"
user2.LastName = "Fuller"
user2.Avatar = My.Resources.andrew1
Me.radTaskBoard1.Users.Add(user1)
Me.radTaskBoard1.Users.Add(user2)

Adding Tags

RadTaskBoard allows you to define tags at control level via the RadTaskBoard.Tags collection. It can be achieved either at design time through the smart tag, or programmatically:

Once, there are tags in the RadTaskBoard.Tags collection at design time, they will be available for adding to the task cards:

WinForms RadTaskBoard Tags

Adding Tags at Run time

C#
TagInfo tagWF = new TagInfo();
tagWF.ForeColor = Color.Red;
tagWF.BackColor = Color.Black;
tagWF.Text = "win-forms";

TagInfo tagWPF = new TagInfo();
tagWPF.Text = "wpf";
tagWPF.ForeColor = Color.Aqua;
tagWF.BackColor = Color.Blue;

this.radTaskBoard1.Tags.Add(tagWF);
this.radTaskBoard1.Tags.Add(tagWPF);
VB.NET
Dim tagWF As TagInfo = New TagInfo()
tagWF.ForeColor = Color.Red
tagWF.BackColor = Color.Black
tagWF.Text = "win-forms"
Dim tagWPF As TagInfo = New TagInfo()
tagWPF.Text = "wpf"
tagWPF.ForeColor = Color.Aqua
tagWF.BackColor = Color.Blue
Me.radTaskBoard1.Tags.Add(tagWF)
Me.radTaskBoard1.Tags.Add(tagWPF)

When you add a TagInfo to a card, the TagInfo is added to the main collection in RadTaskBoard, so it can be reused.
