You can assign resources to a specific task first by creating the resource and then assigning the resource to the specific task. Resources can be created at design time, run time, or programmatically. At run time they can be created using the Project Resources dialog box and then assigned to the task using the Task Information dialog box. At design time they can be created using the C1GanttView.Resources Collection Editor and then assigned to the task using the Task.ResourceRefs Collection Editor. Resources can also be created programmatically using the Resource class and Add method.

   r.Cost = 300D
   ganttView.Resources.Add(r)

   ' find task1
   Dim task1 As Task = ganttView.Tasks.Search("Task 1")
   If task1 IsNot Nothing AndAlso r IsNot Nothing AndAlso task1.ResourceRefs.Count = 0 Then
          ' add a resource reference to the task
          Dim rRef As New ResourceRef()
          rRef.Resource = r
          rRef.Amount = 0.5
          task1.ResourceRefs.Add(rRef)
   End If

To write code in C#

private void btnAddResource_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // add the new Resource object
    Resource r = new Resource();
    r.Name = "Resource 1";
    r.Cost = 300m;
    ganttView.Resources.Add(r);
 
    // find task1
    Task task1 = ganttView.Tasks.Search("Task 1");
    if (task1 != null && task1.ResourceRefs.Count == 0)
    {
        // add a resource reference to the task
        ResourceRef rRef = new ResourceRef();
        rRef.Resource = r;
        rRef.Amount = 0.5;
        task1.ResourceRefs.Add(rRef);
    }
