Generally each task has a start and finish time. All projects should have at least a start date. The Start time is specified by the Start property and can be expressed in Date/Time format. For your convenience a dropdown calendar appears when you click on the dropdown arrow next to the Start property at design-time or run-time where you can select the date from the dropdown calendar and set the time format in the increment button. The first increment button expresses the time in hours and the send increment button expresses the time in minutes. For example the start time for the Planning Phase task is set to 6/25/2012 at 8:00 a.m.
The Finish time is specified by the Finish property and can be expressed in DateTime format. For your convenience a dropdown calendar appears when you click on the dropdown arrow next to the Finish property at design-time or run-time where you can select the date from the dropdown calendar and set the time format in the increment button. The first increment button expresses the time in hours and the send increment button expresses the time in minutes.
You can schedule your project or task from the finish date if you need to do any of the following:
- Unsure when the project begins
- Would like to find out when the project should start by first entering a specific finish date
- Required to schedule the project from a finish date
