Background

Those who have worked on winform and web may have this feeling: winform applications with good user experienceProgramIt is far more difficult than Web applications. This is because after all, web applications rely only on HTML + CSS + js to make a variety of powerful functions and brilliant results, while the winform application is "Drawing" the image step by step on the screen, but also consider a variety of re-painting situations.

In general development, we often choose third-party winform controls to reduce development costs. Third-party controls such as netadvantage and componentone are charged for commercial use, and there are many reuse components in the architecture, make the various controls quite coupled, even if we only need to use one of the controls, also need to reference a lot of DLL, sometimes really inconvenient, don't mention custom.

Introduction

The ganttplanner control is a winform Control compiled by pure. net. It displays data in the form of a dry chart + calendar and provides rich API and Function Support. Its architecture was originally derived from a dayview control that imitates the Outlook Calendar on the codeproject. Now it is modified to a ganttplanner control suitable for displaying the time progress. It is expanded in functions and is open-source on codeplex, address: http://ganttplanner.codeplex.com/
