How to:write to enterprise custom field from an add-in (C#)

[omrivm]

Hi,
I have a question about Enterprise Custom Fields.
I'm working on an add-in and I have the Application object (that I
converted to Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Application), now i
want to write a value to an enterprise custom field. I don't want to
use the PSI because I already have the application object.
So, how it can be done in the application object?

Thanks,
Omri

Easiest way to find out is to record a macro in Project VBA of you doing
what you want manually. The recorded code will provide the Objects and
properties etc. You then just need to convert to C#.

When i try to do so, all i got is this:

Sub Macro1()
' Macro Macro1
ProjectSummaryInfo
End Sub

and i can't see ProjectSummaryInfo... so... nothing...

The project Summary Information dialog has nothing to do with Enterprise
custom fields. To edit these you have to insert the relevant columns.

To read/Write Properties use:
ActiveProject.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Subject")="My Subject"

BuiltinDocumentProperties is a property not a method...
and how the user change the Enterprise custom fields? from the project
Information... no?

There are project enterprise fields under Project Information. However if
you insert EnterpriseTaskText1 that value against the project Summary Task
is the Project level, not task level. So record a macro of you editing an
Enterprise field at the Project Summary level and there is your answer.

In VBA:

ActiveProject.ProjectSummaryTask.SetField pjCustomProjectEnterpriseText1,
"Hi all"

But i want to write to the enterprise fields under Project Information not
under the project Summary, do you know how it can be done?

They're the same thing. With VBA you can only write to the Project Summary
Task.

I see... Thanks a lot!
I don't use VBA I'm using PSI (I'm write in C#) where in the PSI I can do
the same thing?
Because in the PSI I can edit the ProjectSummaryTask but I can see there
only the "fixed" Enterprise fields like "Text1" and etc.
I can't see where I can give my custom field name and value…

Thanks a lot,
