[Mikaelo]

Hello!

How to open Ent Global Template using Project COM components ?
I know how to open common project from server using FileOpen, but what name
i must use for open global template ?

Thanks

But what about CheckIn ?
I found method EnterpriseFileCheckin(SaveType) in MSDN, but this methid is
absent
VS doesn't show it in list of available methods.

How to checkin global enterprise template ?

To save and close the Enterprise Global use Application.FileClose pjSave
when the Enterprise Global is the active project. This checks it back in.

I make simething like
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject;

ApplicationClass app = new ApplicationClass();
app.EnterpriseGlobalCheckOut();
app.FileClose(PjSaveType.pjSave);
app.Quit(PjSaveType.pjDoNotSave);

but when i run this, i get

Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
0x80004005): The method is not available in this situation.

What does it mean ?

I converted your code to VBA and VB.net and it worked without a problem.
Sorry, but I am not a C# guy. Make sure you are referencing the correct
project object - Microsoft Project 11.0 Object Library, TypeLib Version 4.5.

Ed:

Could it be that the identity he's using to run the COM app isn't clearing
PDS authentication? The error seems to point toward a permission problem,
not a code problem.

Mikaelo,
Gary's correct. How are you opening MS Project Pro? You can not use the
COM object to open Project and connect to the server. You have to use a
command line or shell app. The format is winproj.exe /s serverurl /u
projectuser /P password where serverurl is the project server url (ex
http://myserver/projectserver). You only need projectuser and password if
you are trying to connect using a Project Authenticated User. Otherwise,
make sure the user that is running your app has the correct permissions.
