Microsoft Project

[Shabina]

Hi
We at FCS, India, are developing a workflow management application in which we want to integrate MS-Project. Kindly suggest what controls/objects should we use for the purpose, also some sample code shall be very helpful. We need to import data to this application from project plans made in MS-Project. I searched on your msdn site but am left totally lost and confused. Please help

Waiting eagerly for your response

Your question is hardly answerable in this forum. You probably are best
off by getting your head-hunters on the prowl to find some people
experienced developing applications that work with Project. There are
probably very few of these in the world. Sorry.

If you are just important data from projects, see the file projdb.htm
that is included with the product. This defines the database format.
You'll also find with Project 2003 a similiar files describing the XML
format.

My only valuable suggestion is to first design your application, and
then seek controls/objects. Also may wish to look at Project Server as
that's bascially a workgroup/workflow application an may well be an
effective competitor to the product you plan to develop.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
