Import and Export Support in WPF Gantt
26 Jul 202424 minutes to read
Essential Gantt allows you to export and import the task details. You can export the task details as XML files and import them again when needed. You can open the exported XML files in MS Project too. The XML file, exported from MS Project can also be opened in Gantt control. You can import and export the details using the provided APIs.
