Assignment selector controls (AssignmentListBox and AssignmentComboBox): new in Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3.3: 5/15/2012
A new product build (Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3.3) is available to download, including new assignment selector controls that developers can reference within their custom task editor dialogs and/or within the editing cell template of the Assignments column in the grid associated to Gantt Chart control instances in order to allow end user to easily select multiple resources with percentual allocation units as task assignment entries without typing any resource names.
Baseline visualizations, and task level schedule definition support: new in Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3.2: 4/27/2012
A new product build (Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3.2) is available to download, including a set of new features: support to view baseline as secondary task bars within Gantt Charts (by setting IsBaselineVisible to true and specifying values for GanttChartItem.Baseline{Start|Finish} properties), NonworkingDayIntervalProvider delegate property to support recurrent breaks and holidays at control level, and GanttChartItem.Schedule support to be able to define working and nonworking time intervals at task level whenever needed.
Basic Edition licenses for Gantt Chart Light Library: 4/24/2012
We would like to announce that a new set of low pricing Basic Edition license types for DlhSoft Gantt Chart Light Library are now available on our Web site, providing full access to the most used Gantt Chart and Schedule Chart components of the library (specifically, GanttChartDataGrid, GanttChartView, ScheduleChartDataGrid, and ScheduleChartView controls, both for WPF and Silverlight™). Developers that don't need advanced library functionalities (such as resource load charts, PERT charts, or network diagram output support) are therefore able to purchase Basic Edition instead of Standard Edition licenses and decrease their project costs. Eventually, they would be able to upgrade to the Standard Edition of the product at any time later (whenever needed) by paying only the difference between the target and source license prices.
TimeOfDay converter: new in Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3.1: 3/28/2012
A new product build (Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3.1) is available to download, including a new type converter for TimeOfDay data type (providing support to set {Working|Visible}Day{Start|Finish} property values using XAML), and several minor corrections distributed among miscellaneous areas of the library.
Network Diagram control: new in Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3: 2/16/2012
A new product version (Gantt Chart Light Library 4.3) is available to download, including a new NetworkDiagramView control that may be used by developers to easily display a project network diagram, either built in your code or generated automatically from data within an existing instance of GanttChartDataGrid control from the same product (using its GetNetworkDiagramItems method), in Windows® client and Silverlight™ applications. The new build also constains a set of minor corrections applied to some of the pre-existing components in the product. Previously purchased license files (for version 4.x) continue to work with the new build as long as you continue using only pre-existing controls; otherwise, if you need to use the new NetworkDiagramView control, you will simply need to get a free upgrade license file from the Purchase License page of our Web site.
PERT Chart control: new in Gantt Chart Light Library 4.2: 1/25/2012
A new product version (Gantt Chart Light Library 4.2) is available to download, including a new PertChartView control that may be used by developers to easily display a project PERT Chart, either built in your code or generated automatically from data within an existing instance of GanttChartDataGrid control from the same product (using its GetPertChartItems method), in Windows® client and Silverlight™ applications. The new build also constains a set of minor corrections applied to some of the pre-existing components in the product. Previously purchased license files (for version 4.x) continue to work with the new build as long as you continue using only pre-existing controls; otherwise, if you need to use the new PertChartView control, you will simply need to get a free upgrade license file from the Purchase License page of our Web site.
