Anyone know of...
-
I got saddled with a project, and of course, time is very short and the budget is non-existent. Does anyone know of a decent resource/schedule display control?? What I'm looking for is something that will show me resources, say machines, down the left side, and blocks of days/time acrossed to the right. For example, I need to schedule users and projects time on virtual machines for any number of days/weeks and be able to graphically show when the machines are available and reserved. I'd normally "roll-my-own", but time is an issue...

2006, 2007, 2008There are three I have personal experience with, in the managed and non managed both category is the DBITech product advertised here, it's adequate. In the managed category is the Infragistics one (getting very long in the tooth and a bit unwieldy) and the DevExpress one which is modern, clean and fast.

I'll second the DevExpress nomination.

Thanks! I took a look at the DBITech product. It's OK, but for a $0.00 budget, it's a bit steep in price. Infragistics doesn't look like it would do what I need. DevExpress seems like it might fit the bill and the price is better, expense $200! ;)

Take a picture of your server machine with Outlook Calendar open and your team members' heads around the screen, there is your graphic display of time and resources. :)

2006, 2007, 2008Yeah suggested the DBITech one with reservations: I bought it many years ago when it was only an unmanaged product. Then we decided to port our app to .net. I pleaded with DBITech to port to a managed version. At first they said they had no plans, then started saying they were thinking about it. I kept an ongoing correspondence with them for some time suggesting what I would like to see and they kept saying they were "just about" to port to .net. Finally I could wait no longer and went with Infragistics at first, then DBITech released a .net version and they had a particular feature (timeline view) that I wanted. When I tried to get a discount for the managed version (having been a customer for many years) they treated me like dirt and I found that DevExpress did the view I wanted and went that route instead. I seriously don't understand how companies can treat their age old customers, ones who actively participated in helping them steer in a new direction like that, like crap and expect anything good to come of it. I guess it's all about the money.
