• Supports the encoding of the MPX files.
• Read and write default properties of projects to speed up the project setup.
• Set the project calculation mode to be manual, automatic, or none.
• Read and write project calendar properties, such as fiscal year and weekday properties.
• Read and write project currency properties.
• Perform project rescheduling from start, finish date, or reschedule only the incomplete tasks.
• Offers various project utility features, such as, calculate the critical path, read filter data, extract embedded objects, etc.
• Use Task, Resource, and Project fields as a formula in expressions.
• Identify Cross Project Tasks, get predecessor tasks and cross project predecessor tasks.
• Supports working with task links, baselines, project resources, and VBA.
• Convert project data to other supported file formats.

Breaking change in Project Server credential usage

In Aspose.Tasks for .NET 20.7 the requirements to a site URL for Project Server credentials have been changed.

Users now should specify the full URL of PWA endpoint when using ProjectServerCredentials:

Before Aspose.Tasks for .NET 20.7:

var windowsCredentials = ...
var projectServerCredentials = new ProjectServerCredentials("http://project_server_instance.local", windowsCredentials);

Since Aspose.Tasks for .NET 20.7:

var windowsCredentials = ...
var projectServerCredentials = new ProjectServerCredentials("http://project_server_instance.local/sites/pwa", windowsCredentials);

Read & Write Project Files

Microsoft Project®: MPP, MPT, MPX, XML

Save Project Data As

Primavera: P6 XML, PM XER
Microsoft Excel®: XLSX
Fixed Layout: PDF
Images: JPEG, PNG, TIF, SVG
Text: TXT

System::SharedPtr<HtmlSaveOptions> option = System::MakeObject<HtmlSaveOptions>();
project->Save(u"output.html", option);

Create Project from Scratch using C++

Following code sample shows how to create a project file using C++ and then create a task and a sub-task within that project:

// Create a project instance
System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>();

// Add task, sub task and save project
System::SharedPtr<Task> task = project->get_RootTask()->get_Children()->Add(u"Summary1");
System::SharedPtr<Task> subtask = task->get_Children()->Add(u"Subtask1");
project->Save(u"output.xml", Aspose::Tasks::Saving::SaveFileFormat::XML);

Limitations

• No support for printing of any kind.
• No support for Project Online (PWA).
• No support for the database I/O access of any kind.
• No support for EMF/WMF format, neither itself nor as Project file inclusions.
