Gantt Chart in Silver Light

This Silverlight project is not a full featured Gantt chart such as Microsoft Project. It demonstrates only the most basic functionality, and is provided as a starting point for your own projects.

The features it includes are:

* Displays a full year on a scrollable window
* Allows a "Date Box" to be created for each day for up to 15 rows
* The text for each date in the 15 rows can be changed
* Each "Date Box" can be resized to add or subtract days
* Each "Date Box" can be deleted
* The "Date Boxes" on each row cannot overlap
* When a year is changed, the "Day Boxes" entered on it are saved and redisplayed when the year is re-selected




The Silverlight Gantt chart is made up of the following elements:

* ToolBar - A Silverlight Canvas control that slides to the right and left. It slides behind a "Clipping Window" called ToolBarWindow that only shows part of the ToolBar at a time.
* Year Selector - A Silverlight ComboBox control that allows the year to be changed.
* Scroll Bar - A Silverlight ScrollBar control that is programmatically linked to the ToolBar. It allows the user to move the ToolBar.
* Row Label - A series of 15 Silverlight Textbox controls that provide a label for each ToolBar row.
* Month Box - A series of 12 Silverlight controls that represent the months.
* Day Box - A series of Silverlight controls that represent a day of the month. The controls are shaded when their day falls on a weekend.
* Date Box - A Silverlight control that represents date(s) placed on the ToolBar.
