Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Mvc
Assembly: DevExpress.Web.Mvc5.v19.1.dll
Declaration
Property Value
Type | Description |
---|---|
String | Specifies the parent field name. |
Remarks
Since the Gantt is designed to display information in a tree structure, its data source should meet certain requirements. If a data source contains flat data, two additional fields are necessary to build a tree structure.
- The first field must contain unique values. This field must be assigned to the KeyFieldName property.
- The second field must contain key values of parent nodes for the current node. It should be assigned to the
ParentFieldName
property.
Note
The data types of the KeyFieldName and ParentFieldName fields must be the same.
