 | 9 | +# Ajax Binding  | 
 | 10 | + | 
 | 11 | +You can bind the Telerik UI Gantt for {{ site.framework }} using Ajax binding to load and process tasks and dependencies through server-side Action methods.  | 
 | 12 | + | 
 | 13 | +For a complete example, refer to the [Basic Usage Demo of the Gantt component](https://demos.telerik.com/{{ site.platform }}/gantt/basic-usage).  | 
 | 14 | + | 
 | 15 | +To configure the Gantt for Ajax data binding, follow the next steps:  | 
 | 16 | + | 
 | 17 | +1. Set up the Gantt’s DataSource configuration  | 
 | 18 | + - Specify the action methods for the CRUD operations in the `Read`, `Create`, `Update`, and `Destroy` options of the `DataSource` and  `DependencyDataSource` configurations.  | 
 | 19 | + - Define the unique Model identifier in the `Id()` option of the `Model` configuration of each DataSource. In addition, map the required Model fields, such as `ParentID`, `Start`, `End`, `Expanded`, and more, in the `Model` configuration.  | 
 | 20 | + - Configure the additional Gantt settings like views, columns, and more.  | 
 | 21 | + |
