Hi,

How to hide or delete columns from Project File i.e., mpp file and save.

I tried with below code, its not working for me,

project.DefaultView.Table.TableFields.Remove(new TableField { Field = Field.TaskResourceNames });

project.Save(@“C:\Ramya\MPP\New\SDM_NewMPP_WithSampleData.mpp”, new MPPSaveOptions { WriteViewData = true });

Please provide me the resolution.

project.DefaultView.Table.TableFields.Remove(new TableField { Field = Field.TaskResourceNames });

project.Save(@“C:\Ramya\MPP\New\SDM_NewMPP_WithSampleData.mpp”, new MPPSaveOptions { WriteViewData = true });

How to get the list of hidden columns ?
Can anyone help in that

@mitbilal,
there is no definition of “hidden” columns.

Fields contained in project.DefaultView.Table.TableFields are visible.
Fields not contained in project.DefaultView.Table.TableFields can be considered as “hidden”.

@vasiliysinitsyn so there is no direct way to get the list of hidden columns from MS Project file like we have project.DefaultView.Table.TableFields ?

As mentioned: Fields not contained in project.DefaultView.Table.TableFields can be considered as “hidden”.
From where we can get the complete list of fields which include hidden and visible as well ?

@mitbilal,
you can find all allowed fields in Aspose.Tasks.Field enumeration.
