The Axmor Gantt Chart is Silverlight component. The main purpose of the component is data representation. It has no own communication with e.g. server side. It just shows data provided by application that uses Axmor Gantt Chart.

The architecture of Axmor Gantt Chart control conforms to MVP pattern:

·         Model – data to show can be loaded using DataModel class.

·         View – data renderers are in

Axmor.GanttControl.Controls.Views.GanttView,

Axmor.GanttControl.Controls.Views.TableView

namespaces.

The main classes that implement logic of rendering are TableViewManager and GanttViewManager.

·         Presenter – user actions are processed at PresenterManager class.

The sample below illustrates how to create Axmor Gantt Chart control.

// =====================================================================

// Create Constraints

// Create the empty collection of the constraints

// =====================================================================

// Create DataModel

// Create DataModel object with collections of tasks and constraints

DataModel model = new DataModel(cList, tList);

// Create Style for the Ax-GNT control

Axmor.GanttControl.Style.Style style = new Axmor.GanttControl.Style.Style();

// loading the default style

// set the style

model.Style = style;

// =====================================================================

// Create Calendar

// Create the Calendar object with the "Day" mode

// Set the Saturday as the weekend

c1.Weekend.Add(DayOfWeek.Saturday);

// Set the Sunday as the weekend

c1.Weekend.Add(DayOfWeek.Sunday);

// Set the "Calendar" property of the DataModel

model.Calendar = c1;

// =====================================================================

// Create Instance of AX-GNT control

PresenterManager pm = new PresenterManager(model);

PresenterControl axgntcontrol = pm.GetStandardGanttChart();

// Add control into the Container

LayoutRoot.Children.Add(axgntcontrol);
