Installation and Quick Start

How to install the Legendary Gantt control and get the control embedded in your own ASPX page.

1. Install LegendaryGantt.msi. The files from the installation will be located in the “Legendary Code” folder in your “Program Files” directory. (“C:\Program Files\Legendary Code” folder on most machines.)
2. In visual studio, choose “Tools->Choose Toolbox Items”. In the “.NET” tab choose “Browse” in the bottom-right hand corner of the window. Browse to LegendaryGanttControl.dll (location noted in previous step, usually C:\Program Files\Legendary Code\LegendaryGanttControl.dll”).
3. Copy the “Gantt Skins” folder from the “Legendary Code” folder to the root folder of your web project.
4. Create an ASPX web page. Add a “ScriptManager” from the “AJAX Extenstions” section of the toolbox. (If you can't find the ScriptManager, then you might not have ASP.NET AJAX installed)
5. Drag and drop LegendaryGanttControl from the toolbox on to your web page.
6. Compile your project and navigate your web browser to the page you created. The Gantt control should appear in its default configuration ready for you to start entering tasks. NOTE: Since no data binding has been configured, nothing can be saved.
