Hello all programmers,

I would like to plot timeline versus projects in a grid like display format. More or less like MS project but simple display. I have data in MS sql.

Project name, (expected )start date, expected end date, person assigned to project. User should have option to change timeline span and select the project they would like to see from main window. color filled in for the time the project will run.

I hope someone can point me to right direction as to where to start.

If this were my project, I would retrieve the data to be charted from the SQL database and put it into an Excel spreadsheet and use Excel's charting capability. That way, my user could modify the chart as they desired.

If you must do this within an EXE, there are charting controls available to enable development of various types of charts. I have never used these. I found them via Google search. I am sure there are others that you could find via a Google search.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the links.

I was looking for something called 'gantt chart'. I just didn't know what it is called before posting this question.
