Error on ProjectReader.Read(file) for attached file

Aspose.Tasks Product Family
1

The attached files both throw an error when reading them into the Aspose object model.

The files were created by doing a Save As from a project that was on Project Server.

Based on the innerException, it looks like a string format is not as expected when trying to convert to TimeSpan.

Thanks for investigating!

Hi Kevin,

I was able to successfully load MPP file using Aspose.Tasks for .NET 4.0.0. Resource's baseline work format was incorrect in XML file. It was 'PT0H0M-0S' and after changing it to 'PT0H0M0S', I was able to load XML without any issue as well.

Best Regards,

Muhammad,

Would you please add support for that syntax in the .xml file to your product?

The extra character was inserted by Microsoft Project when saving files that exist on MS Project Server, and is read fine by MS Project.

I don't believe your answer to my post is sufficient, since it doesn't offer a fix or a viable workaround. I don't think I can require my customers to open all their .xml files and check for syntax that is considered valid by MS Project itself.

Thanks!

Kevin

The fix works great! Thanks.

Unfortunately, it appears that there are a few more places where the Microsoft Project, when saved from Project Server, still has that same syntax issue, but in other Work and Duration fields.

Could I please request that you take a look at the attached files, and see if a fix could be made for similar syntax, but just in all applicable areas. Hopefully it is just the same fix as before, but for a few more fields.

Thanks!!!v

Hi Kevin,

Sorry, I was unable to reproduce this issue. I can read both these projects without any issue using Aspose.Tasks for .NET 4.1.0. Please have a look at the attached project for reference.

Please remove Aspose.Tasks from references of your project, add reference to 4.1.0 version again and rebuild the solution and let us know if you still see this exception.

Best Regards,
