ASP.NET Core TaskBoard Overview
The TaskBoard is part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core, a
professional grade UI library with 110+ components for building modern and feature-rich applications. To try it out sign up for a free 30-day trial.
The Telerik UI TaskBoard TagHelper and HtmlHelper for ASP.NET Core are server-side wrappers for the Kendo UI TaskBoard widget. To add the component to your ASP.NET Core app, you can use either.
The ASP.NET Core TaskBoard allows you to easily organize items and keep track of their state. The component provides a clean and user-friendly interface and enables you to manage tasks, notes, projects, people, or other kinds of items. The TaskBoard displays columns (lanes), which can represent different types of project/task statuses. Tasks are visualized as cards, which are easily customizable through templates. You can reorder cards within the columns, or drag and drop them onto another column.
Initializing the TaskBoard
The following example demonstrates how to initialize the TaskBoard.
@(Html.Kendo().TaskBoard<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.Scheduler.TaskViewModel, Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.TaskBoard.Column>()
.Name("taskBoard")
.ColumnSettings(columnSettings => columnSettings
.DataTextField("Text")
.DataStatusField("ID")
)
.Columns(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Read("Editing_Columns_Read", "TaskBoard")
.Create("Editing_Columns_Create", "TaskBoard")
.Update("Editing_Columns_Update", "TaskBoard")
.Destroy("Editing_Columns_Destroy", "TaskBoard")
)
.DataTitleField("Title")
.DataStatusField("OwnerID")
.DataDescriptionField("Description")
.DataCategoryField("ID")
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.Model(model => model.Id(p => p.TaskID))
.Read(read => read.Action("Tasks_Read", "TaskBoard"))
.Create(update => update.Action("Tasks_Create", "TaskBoard"))
.Update(update => update.Action("Tasks_Update", "TaskBoard"))
.Destroy(update => update.Action("Tasks_Destroy", "TaskBoard"))
)
.Height("750")
)

Functionality and Features
Referencing Existing Instances
To get a reference to an existing TaskBoard instance, use the jQuery.data() method. Once a reference is established, use the TaskBoard client-side API to control its behavior.
$(document).ready(function() {
// The Name() of the TaskBoard is used to get its client-side instance.
var taskBoard = $("#taskBoard").data("kendoTaskBoard");
});
