Question about Project 2007 Professional

[B. Chernick]

Do I understand this correctly?: If you wish to write a Dot Net 2.0 program
that will open and interact with an instance of Project 2007 Professional
running on a local machine, there is no purely Dot Net interface? In other
words, Project 2007 Pro uses a Com Interop interface basically the same as
earlier versions?

Correct.

Hello,

We have implemented a solution which is doing exactly what you explained,
and it is working perfectly in a Project Server (PS) environment context.

I use a COM Interop business component (dll) deployed in GAC on the client,
which is easily accessible from VBA calls. This COM Interop is calling a
customized PSI Extension Web Service - that means you don't have to manage PS
Security access since the call is made within PSI environment using service
account already managed in PS and SQL Server - and this Web Service is
calling another business component (dll) on the server also GAC'ed where PS
is installed and another non-MS Timesheet application is running for direct
database access. You could also call PSI Web Services from the PSI Extension
if needed.

If you have any question regarding this solution, feel free to ask.
