Hi Albert,

Thank you for writing to Aspose support team.

We provide option to update and read the recurring tasks as follows:

Update Recurring Task

Project project = new Project(“TestRecurringTask2010.mpp”); // attached test project
with recurring task
Task task = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(1);
task.RecurringInfo.Occurrences = 15;
project.Save("saved.mpp", SaveFileFormat.MPP);

Read Recurring Task

Project project = new Project("TestRecurringTask.mpp");
Task task = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(1);
Assert.IsNotNull(task.RecurringInfo, "RecurringInfo cannot be null");
Assert.AreEqual(RecurrencePattern.Weekly, task.RecurringInfo.RecurrencePattern, "RecurrencePattern");
Assert.AreEqual(new DateTime(2015, 4, 14, 8, 0, 0), task.RecurringInfo.StartDate, "StartDate");
Assert.AreEqual(new DateTime(2015, 6, 24, 0, 0, 0), task.RecurringInfo.EndDate, "EndDate");
Assert.AreEqual(project.GetDuration(2), task.RecurringInfo.Duration, "Duration");
Assert.AreEqual(5, task.RecurringInfo.Occurrences, "Occurrences");
Assert.AreEqual(WeekdayType.Monday | WeekdayType.Tuesday | WeekdayType.Wednesday, task.RecurringInfo.WeeklyDays, "WeeklyDays");
Assert.AreEqual(10, task.RecurringInfo.WeeklyRepetitions, "WeeklyRepetitions");
task = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(7);
Assert.IsNotNull(task.RecurringInfo, "RecurringInfo cannot be null");
Assert.AreEqual(RecurrencePattern.Monthly, task.RecurringInfo.RecurrencePattern, "RecurrencePattern");
Assert.AreEqual(new DateTime(2015, 4, 14, 8, 0, 0), task.RecurringInfo.StartDate, "StartDate");
Assert.AreEqual(new DateTime(2015, 6, 25, 17, 0, 0), task.RecurringInfo.EndDate, "EndDate");
Assert.AreEqual(project.GetDuration(1), task.RecurringInfo.Duration, "Duration");
Assert.AreEqual(1, task.RecurringInfo.Occurrences, "Occurrences");
Assert.IsTrue(task.RecurringInfo.MonthlyUseOrdinalDay, "MonthlyUseOrdinalDay");
Assert.AreEqual(WeekdayType.None, task.RecurringInfo.WeeklyDays, "WeeklyDays");
Assert.AreEqual(OrdinalNumber.Third, task.RecurringInfo.MonthlyOrdinalNumber, "MonthlyOrdinalNumber");
Assert.AreEqual(DayOfWeek.Wednesday, task.RecurringInfo.MonthlyOrdinalDay, "MonthlyOrdinalDay");
Assert.AreEqual(2, task.RecurringInfo.MonthlyOrdinalRepetitions, "MonthlyOrdinalRepetitions");
task = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(10);
Assert.IsNotNull(task.RecurringInfo, "RecurringInfo cannot be null");
Assert.AreEqual(RecurrencePattern.Yearly, task.RecurringInfo.RecurrencePattern, "RecurrencePattern");
Assert.AreEqual(new DateTime(2015, 4, 14, 8, 0, 0), task.RecurringInfo.StartDate, "StartDate");
Assert.AreEqual(new DateTime(2017, 6, 30, 0, 0, 0), task.RecurringInfo.EndDate, "EndDate");
Assert.AreEqual(project.GetDuration(24, TimeUnitType.Hour), task.RecurringInfo.Duration, "Duration");
Assert.AreEqual(3, task.RecurringInfo.Occurrences, "Occurrences");
Assert.IsTrue(task.RecurringInfo.YearlyUseOrdinalDay, "YearlyUseOrdinalDay");
Assert.AreEqual(WeekdayType.None, task.RecurringInfo.WeeklyDays, "WeeklyDays");
Assert.AreEqual(OrdinalNumber.Last, task.RecurringInfo.YearlyOrdinalNumber, "YearlyOrdinalNumber");
Assert.AreEqual(DayOfWeek.Friday, task.RecurringInfo.YearlyOrdinalDay, "YearlyOrdinalDay");
Assert.AreEqual(Month.June, task.RecurringInfo.YearlyOrdinalMonth, "YearlyOrdinalMonth");

I am afraid that currently we don’t support creating a new recurring task. I have logged request for this new feature under Id: TASKSNET-1720 for further investigation by the product team. Although it may not be implemented in the near future as many high priority tasks are there in queue for processing. I shall write here as soon as some feedback is received in this regard.
