In Syncfusion’s latest webinar, “How to Manage and Track Your Projects Efficiently with the Gantt Chart,” product manager Bharath Marimuthu, a developer skilled in the intricacies of advanced timeline and column filtering, demonstrates how those features can be used in the Syncfusion JavaScript Gantt Chart. He also explains how the chart’s modular architecture makes managing and tracking projects easy.

The following questions and answers were taken from the webinar’s Q&A segment:

How do Gantt variables connect with C# code?

Syncfusion’s Gantt Chart is available for ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET MVC. You can initiate and work with Gantt charts using server-side C# code.

ASP.NET MVC
Samples: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetmvc/Gantt/DefaultFunctionalities
Documentation: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetmvc/documentation/gantt/getting-started

ASP.NET Core

How does the Gantt Chart perform in .NET Core for a generic display with 2,000 tasks?

For now, Syncfusion’s Gantt Chart takes a few seconds to load 2,000 tasks. Since it’s a preview version, we haven’t implemented many performance optimizations yet. We are currently working with a virtualization rendering mode to load a large number of tasks. We will launch this feature in the upcoming release of Essential Studio 2019 Volume 3, which is expected to roll out at the end of September.

Is it possible to split a task on a single row so that you can assign different resources at different time periods?

At this moment, we don’t support splitting tasks, but we will consider it as a feature request and implement it in an upcoming release.

Is it possible to import or export with Microsoft Project?

Yes, it is possible to import or export .xml files with Microsoft Project using Essential ProjIO.

Where can I find information on Microsoft exporting?

We will soon publish information regarding exporting and importing in our online user guide. For now, if you create a support ticket, we’ll reply with a sample solution.

When will the JavaScript version be the same as the jQuery version?

We are fully committed to porting all the features we can from our jQuery version to the JavaScript Gantt Chart. Right now, our JavaScript Gantt Chart is a preview version with basic functionality and common features. We are implementing additional features and functionalities. We plan to ship all features in our Volume 4 release in 2019.

Is there a trial version?
