Opening a .mpp file using vb.net - Please help

[junior77048]

This is my first time programming using the ms project object library. I am
trying to open a .mpp file using vb.net. I reference the Microsoft project
object 11.0 library. I know that there is a projects collection object. But
I dont see an open method that will let me open the file. So how can I open
a mpp file using the project object library?

The best technique to learn is to open Project, then record a macro of you
doing what you want (in this case opening a project file). The resultant
code can be copy/pasted into Visual Studio. Insert the Project object
variable you have created in VB.net in front of all statements that need it
and you are finished!

This is a big reason why controlling Office applications is quicker and
easier with VB than C#!
