open xml file with project 2003

[elad]

How can I open an xml file that saved from project 2003 as xml (suitable with
the project 2003 schema) from .net code?
I want to open the file without seeing the import wizard (same as I open an
MPP file).

First you must set a reference in .net to
Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject. Then try the following code (in VB.net:
Dim ProjApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.Application

ProjApp.FileOpen(filename, False,
Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.PjMergeType.pjDoNotMerge)

Hope this helps.

Another option is to open the MPP or XML-saved project file using the Project
2003 OLEDB Provider.

Of course, if you are really a warrior you can traverse the XML DOM for the
necessary information you need.
