displaying both Actual and scheduled graph in MS project in VB.ne

[Ihsan]

HI.

Can anybody give some idea how to show both actual time and scheduled time
in microsoft project using Visual Basic .net.

for e.g
Scheduled dates

module ABC
function spec 1/1/2007 5/1/2007
approval 5/1/2007 6/1/2007
dev & cus 7/1/2007 15/2/2007


Actual dates

module ABC
function spec 2/1/2007 7/1/2007
approval 7/1/2007 9/1/2007
dev & cus 9/1/2007 31/2/2007



If i want to display both graphs same time in same project.can any body give
me some solution for this.thanks in advance.

Awaiting for your earliest reply,

Best Regards
Ihsan

Hi,

Regardless of how you program it, be aware of the fact that once you enter
Actual Dates, planned dates become equal to actual dates. Plan shopuld not
change reality.
If you want to use the originally planned dates in comparison to actuals, at
some point in time you have to set a baseline and use Baseline star,
Baseline finish, etcetera.

Once you have done that, the Tracking Ganyt View displays what you ask for,
no need to program.

Hope this helps,

HI Jan De Messemaeker,

Thanks for your reply.i manage to solve the problem by using this line of
code in my VB.net application

appclass.BaselineSave(True, PjSaveBaselineFrom.pjCopyBaseline,
PjSaveBaselineTo.pjIntoBaseline, True, True, True)

then need to set the values BaselineStart and BaselineFinish for tasks

task.BaselineStart = "01/1/2007"
task.BaselineFinish = "02/15/2007"
