Export tasks to MS Project for percent completed

Aspose.Tasks Product Family
1
Hi

Current statement
Tasks types:
• Milestone
• Usual project task (usual tasks can have percent of execution between 0% and 100%)

Tasks has resources. Tasks has calendar.
See script code attached below. That code makes export of project tasks into XML-format.

Problem
Project tasks has percentage set up into 100%, without some specific value that we had before

Attaches
Check please next files attached to that request:
File MyProject.mpp – results of real export, XML-file saved as *.MPP
File example.mpp – we are waiting export results as in that file (some awaited model).
File Program.cs – C# script

Hi Anton,


Thank you for contacting Aspose support.

I have analyzed the code and observed that you are setting Actual Start/Finish dates. If we create a task using Microsoft Project(MSP) and assign Start, Finish, Duration only and save the file on disc, it contains 0% complete. However if we set the Actual Start/Finish date equal to Start and finish date, the % complete automatically changes to 100% in MSP. Similarly in MSP if we change the % complete to 0, the Actual start and Actual Finish dates automatically become NA.

Hence if you set Actual Start/Finish dates, the %complete value is adjusted. You may please verify it by commenting the lines of code in your sample code where ActualFinish date is assigned a value. You will see that the %complete remains 0% as expected.

Please feel free to write us back if you have any other query in this regard.

Hi

I created *.xml project file with the help of Aspose.Tasks. Open this file in the MS Project 2013, and next save to *.mpp format.

Then I try to open the file I've done:

var reader = new ProjectReader();
var project = reader.Read("c:\\MyProject.mpp");

and get the “Project reading exception. Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '0' Key being added: '0'" in the last line. If I do the same with MS Project 2010, it doesn't happen (there is no exception). I'm attaching code file and *.xml and *.mpp files. Will be grateful for your help.

Hi


I update to Aspose 8.3.0 and use code:
var project = new Project(file);
var pc = new ChildTasksCollector();
TaskUtils.Apply(project.RootTask, pc, 0);

and get the “Project reading exception. “Прибавление или вычитание значения приводит к непредставимому значению DateTime.”. Will be grateful for your help.

Hi


I have new problem in version Aspose 8.4.1 (file project.zip, attach solution AsposeTest).
use:
var project = new Project {CalculationMode = CalculationMode.None}
and get exception

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
HResult=-2147467261
Message=Ссылка на объект не указывает на экземпляр объекта.
Source=Aspose.Tasks
StackTrace:

If use CalculationMode.Manual then i have over bag:
1. I have bad finish date for Task2 - 2015-06-09T17:00:00 instead of the correct date 2015-06-09T23:59:50
2. See files “correct - aspose 7.2.0.xml” and “bad - aspose 8.4.1.xml”. In old Aspose version file “correct - aspose 7.2.0.xml” not exists xml-nodes for task , , , , , , it’s file is correct. How sets fileds Stop, Resume, EarlyStart, EarlyFinish, LateStart, LateFinish for task is null?

Hi Anton,

I have reviewed your code and its quite a lengthy code which is not helpful to identify the problem. As you have mentioned that it is a new problem, therefore could you please create a new thread and provide a simplified code which can be used to re-produce the scenario here?

Similarly, you have sent two files "bad - aspose 8.4.1.xml" and "correct - aspose 7.2.0.xml" for another issue. Please create a separate thread and provide the simplified code using new library Aspose.Tasks for .NET 8.4.1 for re=producing the issue here. It will help us to re=produce scenario here and provide assistance at the earliest.
