Hi, long time since I worked on openxml, am a bit rusty. Since many years went by I wanted to ask if theres a better/newer way or widget to display a Gantt chart showing the project tasks, how long one lasts, then the next task etc. I have the built in gantt, hoping to override it, but isnt there a nice looking one with customizable features? thanks
Hi,
If you can do it in Word, then you can see the markup and the parts necessary for creating a document that looks like what you want. So the first step is to manually create a document that looks like what you want.
There are screen-casts that explain how to use the various tools that enable you to suss out what the markup / parts should be.
Regards, Eric
Hi Eric!
nice to talk with you again, you helped me thru a really challenging project before. I created a word doc and added it into c# mvc code and it creates reports, very complex, over 10,000 loc but now have to make another.
I have been making parts of the doc, like a table and spliced that into code, formatting is fine, but something visual like the gantt chart? I had done a bar chart, wow that was difficult to make work right
Created a bar chart and will try it too, maybe its not as hard as I think? was hoping for some add-in. everything else is done like you say. thanks
I was able to get around this. When in doubt? recheck the requirements document carefully!
Its interesting to know if such an add in exists, but for now, dont need it
