Full Task Hierarchy for Timesheet

[Scott Simms]

Hello,

I am trying to render an existing Timesheet into a custom web part that
displays the full Task hierarchy (i.e. Parent Tasks).

I am able to retrieve the 'leaf' tasks from the TimeSheet Web Service but I
would like to know the best way to retrieve the Task hierarchy for those
tasks?

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott.

It should be pretty easy, unfortunatelly the project server webparts are
sealed, and you can't add new column as workaround we created application
which storing information about tast hierarty to comment column.

Thanks Martin. I was thinking of doing a 'join' between the Timesheet entries
and the Project Tasks to generate a hierarchical view - this is because there
may be several 'levels' in the hierarchy, e.g.

Project Iteration 1
Implementation
Implement Component 1

Project Iteration 2
Implementation
Implement Component 1

I am interested to know if there is an effective way to do this join using
PSI?

Thanks,

Scott.

You have to write own timesheet component from 0. -> it will be expensive.
We shoudl bill customer 20 mandays for this feature (and only because se
know that we can sell it to other customers).

Regarding the relationship between task and timesheets there are 2 problems
- this relationship is weak. There shoudl be a timesheet line for task which
was deleted by PM, and you can't quickly retrieve informations about task
hierarchy from PSI when user is assignet to more than one project.
