I'm looking at your new GanttView control. It looks great. However I can not understand how to make weekend days unused within task duration. Saturday and Sunday is grayed on time line but not considered as weekends. I create task which starts at Friday and has duration 2 days. I suppose that it ends at Monday because calendarInfo attached to ganttView considered (by default) Saturday and Sunday as weekend but task ends at Saturday. It is confusing and unnatural (after people have used MS Project). Weekends (calendar days with IsWorking = false) must not be counted for task duration.
Same problem with holidays. Currently they also counted as working days.
Implementing these behaviour you should consider another nuance. In Russia (not sure about other countries) if holiday is on thursday then thursday and friday will be nonworking days but sunday will be working day. Also if holiday is on tuesday then tuesday and monday will be nonworking days but saturday will be working day. If holiday is on weekend then monday will be nonworking day.
Of course this specific with holidays should not be explicitely implemented in GanttView or CalendarInfo. I suppose that should be ablility to set concrete date as working or nonworking and weekends and holidays should be initially counted as nonworking.
I am currently evaluating if we should purchase the Gantt view control and it seems that a 2 day task, created on Friday still ends on Saturday in the version I just downloaded.
This thread of issues is dated 2010 to 2014 so I assumed that was implemented by now.
Is skipping weekends in task duration and end date calculation a feature in the ultraWinGantt view (I honestly can't figure out how it could ever be used without that feature).
Thanks
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I've got the same issue. It seems I can not exlude weekends from tasks, so a task with a duration of 2 days that starts on friday, ends in the weekend, in stead of monday/tuesday. Do you know if and/or when this feature will be implemented? Or maybe it already has? Our product owner told me we can't publish our planning tool if weekends can't be excluded.
Just to clarify, it's okay if the weekends are visible, but weekends should be excluded from the calculation for the (finish) dates. Thanks in advance. We are using version 14.1.20141.2059 by the way.
We experiment the same problem with the task getting consumed on non-working days. Is it possible to have an estimate on when this will be implemented? It is critical feature for our choice of control.
Regards
Brian, does Infragistics plan to implement special working days and count them in task duration (same for weekends and holidays)?
Without this GanttView is not very usefull as project scheduling component?
Working days/hours are not supported beyond the level of a day of the week. You can change the color for a particular day using the UltraCalendarLook.GetDayLook method (set the Appearance.BackColor on the DayLook object returned for the date), and it can be made to appear to the user as a non-working day, but it will not be an actual non-working day.
