Issue with Duration Conversion from Hours to Days in XER File

Aspose.Tasks Product Family
1

Hello,

I have an XER file Duration_convert_bug.zip (468,0 Ko) where the duration is set in hours. When I attempt to convert the duration from hours to days using the Duration Convert function, I end up with an infinity value. For example, 920 hours gets converted as shown here:

Here’s the code I’m using:
DurationOriginal = task.Get(Tsk.Duration).Convert(Day);

Where task is an Aspose.Tasks.Task object.

Could you help me understand what might be going wrong?

Thanks!

@Nour_From_XLSTAT ,
as a workaround you can init these values manually:

 var project = new Project(@"CRO-hourdayBug.xer");
if (project.MinutesPerDay == 0)
{
    project.MinutesPerDay = 8 * 60;
    project.MinutesPerWeek = 5 * 8 * 60;
}

var t = project.RootTask.Children.GetByUid(2);
var d = t.Duration.Convert(TimeUnitType.Day);
Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", t.Uid, d.ToString());

Thanks for the workaround, it works!
