Hi
Marco,##
Regarding how to assign multiple resources to a taskYou
can assign multiple resources to a task by using the Resources property of the TaskDetails
class. We have attached a sample project demonstrating how to assign multiple
resources to a task. Please review it and let us know if you have any questions
or need further assistance.##

Good evening,

thank You for Your support.

Please find below an image that i hope help me explain what i'm searching for

Image_9439_1734450592018

Think about a standard Gantt chart but in the bottom part You can see the number of the total resources necessary for each time unit . In the image the time unit is a week. The bulding task need for 2 resources for each week. The painting task instead need for 3 resources for each week. So i totally need for 2 resources the first week, 5 in the second week and 3 in the other weeks.

I would like to specify the number of resources i need for each time unit , for each task, and obtain the sum of them in the below area.

I hope to be clear....

Thank You in advance

Best regards

Marco

Hi marco,# Regarding
Visualizing Resource Numbers on the Gantt Chart:Currently, the WPF GanttControl does not support displaying the
resource numbers directly on the Gantt chart. However, you can achieve your
desired outcome by using the WPF SfChart control in the Gantt loaded event to
display the total number of resources for each time unit (e.g., week).In the Gantt loaded event, we can use the ActualStartDate
and ActualEndDate properties to determine the dates for rendering the
Gantt chart. Then, based on the selected time unit (e.g., week), we can filter
the tasks based on their start date, end date, and associated resources. These
values are added to a separate collection, which will then be used as the item source
for a column series in the SfChart control. This approach allows you to
visualize the number of resources for each time unit (week) in the WPF SfChart. We have prepared an example sample with the above suggested
approach and attached it below for your reference. Please check the sample and
let us know whether it meets your requirement.We hope that
this helps you. Please let us know if you need further assistance.Regards,

Good morning and thank You,Your proposal is really interesting. I  would like to add some "feature", if it's possible: (i will use Chart and Gant Chart for the controls, sorry for the similiar names)Place the Chart under the Gant Chart area so to have each chart blue bar under it's time unit. To do this i think we need to have the Chart Widht bound the Gant Chart WidhtIf the Gant Chart is wider then the screen , the same will be the Chart and theyr horizontal scroll bar will be bound with each otherIf i zomm on the Gant Chart and this lead to a change in the time unit, the same will happen on the Chart﻿﻿Do You think that those 3 points are possible?Thank You in advanceBesrt regards

Hi marco,

Thank you for
sharing your requirements and providing a detailed explanation.As per the current implementation, the Gantt control does not provide direct
support for the following requirements:
 Placing the Chart under the Gantt Chart and
     binding their widths:
     It is not possible to bind the width of the Chart to the Gantt Chart.
 Synchronizing horizontal scrollbars between the
     Chart and Gantt Chart:
     The synchronization of scrollbars between the two controls is not
     supported.
 Zooming on the Gantt Chart and reflecting changes
     in the Chart's time unit:
     Adjusting the Chart’s time unit or zoom level based on the Gantt Chart's
     zoom is not feasible with the existing functionality.
