+## Description
+
+If I resize the TreeList part of the Gantt, it gets back to its initial width, after I refresh the Gantt's data. How can I persist the current TreeList width?
+
+## Solution
+
+To persist the current TreeList width, follow the steps below:
+
+1. Bind the `TreeListWidth` parameter of the Gantt to a property. In the example below, the property is named `ListWidth`.
+2. In the methods that manipulate the data of the Gantt (`AddRootTask` and `RemoveTask`), use JavaScript interop to invoke a function. The logic in the function gets and returns the current width of the TreeList.  
+3. Use the current width value to update the value of the `ListWidth` property, before refreshing the data by calling `.Rebind()`.
