  • GanttDependencyMappings.TypeFieldName Property

    Gets or sets the data source field (of the DependencyType or Int32 type) that specifies a task’s dependency type.

    Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGantt

    Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGantt.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Gantt

    Declaration

    [DefaultValue("Type")]
    [DXCategory("Mappings")]
    [XtraSerializableProperty]
    public string TypeFieldName { get; set; }

    Property Value

    Type Default Description
    String "Type"

    The data source field that specifies a task’s dependency type.

    Remarks

    The GanttControl.DependencySource property specifies the data source that contains dependencies. Use the TypeFieldName property to specify the name of the field in the data source that stores dependency types.

    The field’s data type should be either DependencyType or Int32. The DependencyType enumeration is a set of named integer constants. You can store dependency types as integers in the data source.

    Example

    The code below uses integer values to specify dependency types.

    using DevExpress.XtraGantt;
    using System.Data;
    
    ganttControl1.DependencySource = GetDependencies();
    
    private object GetDependencies() {
        DataTable table = new DataTable();
        DataColumn predecessor = new DataColumn("PredecessorID", typeof(int));
        DataColumn successor = new DataColumn("SuccessorID", typeof(int));
        DataColumn dependencyType = new DataColumn("DependencyType", typeof(DependencyType));
        DataColumn lag = new DataColumn("TimeLag", typeof(TimeSpan));
        table.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[] { predecessor, successor, dependencyType, lag });
        //Note that an integer value is used to specify the dependency type.
        table.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, 2, 2, new TimeSpan(12, 0, 0) });
        table.Rows.Add(new object[] { 2, 3, 3, null });
        return table;
    }
