Problem with Project using vb.net

[Johnathan]

hi, I have few questions regarding MS Project using vb.net:
1. May I know how to get the resource units allocated to a task in vb.net?
2. If I change the Hours-per-day of a project in vb.net, although it
successfully change the hours per day but there is a need to adjust other
parameter in the project file right? What I get when i change the hours per
day is each taks duration was reduce but that doesn't looks like what it
gonna be in reality. Please advise me.

Hi Johnathan,

First question: I answered that lst Wednesday, 20/02/08
Second: Read FAQ 5 in
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm

It will explain you what happens when you change hours per day.
Namely duration is not rediuced but its value in days is.
To really change working time you have to do it in Tools, Change Working
time and that is very difficult through VB.
Hope this helps,

The 2nd question I got it thanks.
The 1st question, what you've answered me was assigning a resource to a task
but what if I want to get the unit allocated from a task which already
assinged with a resource?
example:
task 1 is assigned with resource A which has Max Unit 100%, so I want to get
the resource unit for task 1 programmatically. Some task does not used up all
100% unit.

Hi,

I suppose you mean you want to set the units, not get?
By all means, the assignment object has a read/Write property Units:

Mytask.assignments(1).units=0.6
or U=mytask.assignments(3).units

Hope this helps,
