Task
A task is a unit of work. On the Gantt chart, it displays the following information:
Task title.
Duration (start and end dates).
Task progress.
Associated dependencies that specify relationships between tasks.
Associated resources.
A large task can be divided into subtasks that allow you to track the progress.
A milestone is a task with the same start and endpoint. Milestones can be used as checkpoints for important points in a project.
The Gantt gets data for tasks from a data table (Bind(Object, Object, Object, Object)). Use the GanttMappings.Task object to specify which fields in the data table correspond to task properties.
settings.Mappings.Task.Key = "ID";
settings.Mappings.Task.ParentKey = "ParentID";
settings.Mappings.Task.Title = "Subject";
settings.Mappings.Task.Start = "StartDate";
settings.Mappings.Task.End = "EndDate";
settings.Mappings.Task.Progress = "PercentComplete";
