IsMilestone Flag - Not persisted on save

Aspose.Tasks Product Family
1

I recently downloaded (v 5.2.0.0) the trial (and registered for a license) and think I have an issue.



Using the following code to create a new project and then iterating the tasks the IsMilestone flag is always false (and is false in ms project 2010 as well):



Any help is appreciated. Thanks.



Dan.



private static void CreatePlainProject(string filename)

{

ProjectReader rdr = new ProjectReader();



Project prj = rdr.Read(new FileStream(“Project.mpp”, FileMode.Open));



prj.MinutesPerDay = 480;



Task rootTsk = new Task();

Task tsk1 = new Task(“TaskName1”);

tsk1.IsMilestone = true;

Task tsk2 = new Task(“TaskName2”);



tsk1.ActualStart = DateTime.Today;

tsk2.ActualStart = DateTime.Today.AddDays(30);



tsk1.Duration = new TimeSpan(5 * 8, 0, 0);

tsk1.DurationFormat = TimeUnitType.Day;

tsk2.Duration = new TimeSpan(10 * 8, 0, 0);

tsk2.DurationFormat = TimeUnitType.Day;



prj.RootTask = rootTsk;

rootTsk.Children.Add(tsk1);

rootTsk.Children.Add(tsk2);



Resource res = new Resource();

Resource res1 = new Resource(“r1”);

res1.Type = ResourceType.Work;



prj.Resources.Add(res);

prj.Resources.Add(res1);



prj.CalcTaskIds();

prj.CalcTaskUids();

prj.CalcResourceFields();

prj.CalcResourceIds();

prj.CalcResourceUids();

prj.UpdateReferences();



prj.Save(filename, Saving.SaveFileFormat.MPP);

}





private static void RenderTask(Task ParentTask)

{

foreach (Task task in ParentTask.Children)

{

string prefix = String.Empty;

prefix = prefix.PadRight(task.OutlineLevel, ‘-’);

Console.WriteLine(prefix + “********”);

Console.WriteLine(prefix + “Name : " + task.Name + " (” + task.ParentTask.Name + ") " + task.GUID);

Console.WriteLine(prefix + "Milestone : " + task.IsMilestone.ToString() );



RenderTask(task);

}

}

Thanks for the quick reply.



Are you able to give an indication of resolution time?



I won’t be able to provide a business case for purchase without this feature working in a POC.



Dan.

Dan,


I would like to share with you that this functionality was working in the previous version of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 5.1.0. Only in the latest version, that supports MSP 2013 format now, this functionality was broken, which has been fixed now.

The fixed version is planned to be included in the upcoming version of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 5.3.0. Once the fixed version is available, you’ll be notified here automatically.

Very good (I am at MSP 2010), I’ll grab the 5.1 dlls and do the POC with that.
