Hi,


I am not able to achieve a simple objective. I am trying to create a simple project with a simple task that starts on 29th December 2016 and ends 4 Jan 2016. Please provide a simple code sample for this.

Hi George,


Thank you for contacting Aspose support team.

You may set the task start date and duration instead of start/finish date. Please give a try to the following sample code which creates a task and sets its start date and duration.

<span style=“font-size: 9pt; font-family: “Courier New”;”>java.util.Calendar
startDate = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();

startDate.set(<span style=“font-size:9.0pt;font-family:“Courier New”;
mso-fareast-font-family:“Times New Roman”;color:blue”>2016<span style=“font-size: 9pt; font-family: “Courier New”;”>, <span style=“font-size:9.0pt;font-family:“Courier New”;
mso-fareast-font-family:“Times New Roman”;color:blue”>11<span style=“font-size: 9pt; font-family: “Courier New”;”>, <span style=“font-size:9.0pt;font-family:“Courier New”;

project1.set(Prj.<span style=“font-size:9.0pt;font-family:“Courier New”;
