Project.Read() Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow

Hi,

I’m having issues opening a file with the latest Aspose Tasks that has worked on previous versions.

Error
Project reading exception.
Aspose.Tasks for .NET 4.7.0.0 version. Reading
project data in ‘MPP9’ format, created by ‘MSP2003’ started.
Arithmetic
operation resulted in an overflow.
at šˆ.‰ˆ.Read(Project , Stream ) at
Aspose.Tasks.ProjectReader.Read(Stream stream) at
NostraWWW.ProjectSchedule.InsertMilestone(String newFileLocation) in
C:\Dev\CPR\Bulwer Solution\NostraWWW\ProjectSchedule.aspx.cs:line 238

Code

// Set the license

License license = new License();

String path = Request.ServerVariables[“APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH”] + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[“AsposeTaskLicense”].ToString();

license.SetLicense(path);

///Read mpp file from the server

ProjectReader rdr = new ProjectReader();


Project prj = null;


try

{

prj = rdr.Read(new FileStream(newFileLocation, FileMode.Open));

}

I’ve attached a condensed version of the file causing issues.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Peter,


Thank you for writing to us.

I was able to observe the issue as you have mentioned. However, I have some observations here.

When I open your MPP file in Microsoft Project (MSP), the tasks don’t show at first in the Gantt Chart view until I expand them manually after which they become visible. If I save your MPP file with MSP in the same 2003 format without making any changes, then Aspose.Tasks open it successfully. It seems that the file has some issue. Can you please tell us if this Project was generated using Aspose.Tasks or through MSP?

Also, please share with us which version of Aspose.Tasks opened this file fine? as I tried uptil 4.6.0 version and it couldn’t be opened. We will look into this issue and try to assist you as soon as possible.

HI Kashi,

The project are maintained via MS Project, and Aspose.Tasks only reads them. The previous version we have been using for a number of years successfully is 1.6.3.0.

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Kashif,

Is there a work around for this at all as this is happening is a production system, and we need to get these Tasks read asap.

Cheers,
Peter
