I want to fill in my Actual hours programmatically

[Josh]

Hi! We are starting to use MS Project in our small software development group.

Previously, we had been using a small time-tracking utility that one of us
had written. The program pops up every hour or two, asks you what task you
have been working on, and then hides again. It allows us to keep a fairly
accurate measurement of how much time we put into each task.

I want to integrate this program with MS Project. Right now, I am opening up
Project, copying all of my assigned tasks into our time-tracking program, and
then entering the data from the time-tracking program back into Project at
the end of the week. I would like to automate these steps (the retrieval of
the tasks from Project, and the entering of the times into Project).

I've been messing around with the Project SDK, and it seems like PDS will
let me do what I need to do. I've already been able to retrieve all of my
tasks, using the AssignmentsGet method. But I can't find anything in the PDS
API that will let me enter the "Actual" hours that I spent on each task on a
given day. Does anyone know where I might find this method?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Looks like I found the answer to my own question! The entries are done with
TimephasedData, which is discussed right there in the PDS Timesheet API.
