At last: the GanttChart web part with installer and user friendly editor
Many people have (politely) asked me to provide an installer with the Gantt chart web part, because they were not comfortable with editing configuration files and placing dll files in the GAC manually.
Over the past half year, I have been promising these people that I was working on it, but that it would take some time. Well: rejoice! I have just uploaded the MSI installer for the web part. And what's even better: the part now includes an editor that lets you pick lists, views and fields from lists in stead of having you type in all of these names. I hope that this will make the part useable for a much wider audience:
Oh, one more thing: I also added a new feature: by selecting the Link To Item option, the bars in the chart will be clickable and will link to the detail page of the clicked item.
