InbuiltTaskCollection empty even though items have been added and are visible

[James Randle]

Hi,
I've combined the first two Gantt examples (Essential Gantt and Project Scheduler) so that I can populate items from a view model, and also add/insert/delete items.

The ViewModel.GetTaskDetails() method is called from the view model and items are added as expected (image View.png).

However, when it comes to using the InsertTask command, the GanttControl.Model.InbuiltTaskCollection is empty (image Code.png)!

I have attached two images to show the data displayed, and then the empty InbuiltTaskCollection after the AddTaskCommand is clicked.

Why is the collection empty? Should I be using a different collection to add the new item to because i am populating from the view model, rather than from Xml?

I cannot find any information on InbuiltTaskCollection anywhere!

Many thanks,
James.

Hello Again!
I produced a minimal project to demonstrate the situation.

If you set a break point after the line "int count = gantt.Model.InbuiltTaskCollection.Count;" then run the project and right click the gantt > Add > Task, you will see the collection is empty when the breakpoint is hit.

Thanks again,
James.

Hi James,

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

 

We can add, remove and insert the items from the item source collection of the Gantt Control as in the below code example

 

[C#]

                (gantt.ItemsSource as ObservableCollection<TaskDetails>).Add(new TaskDetails

                {

                    StartDate = (gantt.ItemsSource as ObservableCollection<TaskDetails>)[count-1].FinishDate,

                    Duration = new TimeSpan(2, 0, 0, 0)

                });

 Also, we have modified the sample for your reference. You can download the sample from the following location.

 

Sample: gantt

 

Note: InbuildTaskCollection property is provided to access the task items when item source is imported from the xml which makes it easier to access the task items.
