Com-AddIn OrganizerMoveItems

[Zack Halbrecht]

Hi,

I'm writing a COM-AddIn for Microsoft Project 2003 that will copy
various Filters to the user's Global.MPT file using OrganizerMoveItem.

This code works if Use it in a VBA Macro, but I cannot for the life of
me get it to work in this COM-AddIn in C#.

I know that the AddIn itself is registering and connecting properly and
I am getting to this point OK:

public void OnStartupComplete(ref System.Array custom)

{

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
try

{

applicationObject.OrganizerMoveItem(MSProject.PjOrganizer.pjFilters,
"C:\\Filters.mpp" , "Global.MPT", oMissing, oMissing);
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Good To Go");

}


catch (Exception ex)

{

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

}

}


I get a NullReference Exception on the OrganizerMoveItem line. I think
that the problem is with the second parameter FileName. I have tried
"C:\\Filters.mpp", applicationObject.ActiveProject.Name, "Filters.mpp"
(with Filters.mpp being passed to WINPROJ.exe On the start of debugging
- all with the same result.

If anyone could help me nip this thing I would be very very grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Record the copy to Global in VBA then look at the file name used in the
recorded code. Try the same description in your code.

Try "C:\ instead of C:\\ as well.

Hi Rod,

Thanks for the advice, but

"C:\" will not compile in C#

The backslash needs to be escaped by another backslash to be a vaild
string.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Did you record in Project VBA and copy the command and adjust for C#?
