GanttView.StartDateMapping Property

Provides a path to a data field that stores the task’s start date. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Gantt

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Gantt.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Gantt

Declaration

C#

public Mapping StartDateMapping { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property StartDateMapping As Mapping

Property Value

Type	Description
Mapping	A Mapping object indicating the data field and the converter.

Remarks

Use the StartDateMapping property to bind the Gantt item’s GanttNode.StartDate property to a data field. The data field is obtained from the data source specified by the GanttControl’s ItemsSource property.

Tip

Use the Mapping.Converter property to register a value converter for a custom storing format.

You can specify mapping as a Mapping markup extension object, or as a string. The code sample below illustrates how to map Gantt items’ properties to data source fields.

Xaml

<dxgn:GanttControl ItemsSource="{Binding Tasks}">
    ...
    <dxgn:GanttControl.View>
        <dxgn:GanttView
            KeyFieldName="Id"
            ParentFieldName="ParentId"

            NameMapping="{dxgn:Mapping Name}"
            StartDateMapping="StartDate"
            FinishDateMapping="{dxgn:Mapping FinishDate}"
            ProgressMapping="Progress"
            BaselineStartDateMapping="BaselineStartDate"
            BaselineFinishDateMapping="BaselineFinishDate"
