Examples

Shows how to add groups to a project.

var p = new Project();

{
    var group = new Group();
    group.Name = "My new task group";
    group.MaintainHierarchy = true;
    group.ShowSummary = true;

    var criterion = new GroupCriterion();
    criterion.Field = Field.TaskDuration1;
    criterion.Font = new FontDescriptor("Comic Sans MS", 13F, FontStyles.Italic);
    criterion.GroupOn = GroupOn.DurationMinutes;
    criterion.StartAt = 5;
    criterion.GroupInterval = 3D;
    criterion.Pattern = BackgroundPattern.DarkDiagonalLeft;
    group.GroupCriteria.Add(criterion);

    var criterion2 = new GroupCriterion();
    criterion2.Field = Field.TaskPercentComplete;
    criterion2.Font = new FontDescriptor("Bodoni MT", 17, FontStyles.Italic | FontStyles.Bold);
    criterion2.GroupOn = GroupOn.Pct199;
    criterion2.Pattern = BackgroundPattern.LightDither;
    criterion2.CellColor = Color.Green;
    criterion2.FontColor = Color.Red;
    group.GroupCriteria.Add(criterion2);
