Show a WSS3 List value in an enterprise project field of PS2007

[Cnegroni]

Hi:

I wanted to know if somebody can help me or guide me with the following
problem:

- We have a Survey (a kind of WSS3 List) in the project workspaces of our
projects in Project Server 2007. So, we would like to show the value of that
survey in an enterprise field of the project in PWA. Is it possible to do
this without programming in .Net?

Thank you very much.

Regards

Hello, alas not. This is definitely a programming task.

Hi, thank you for your answer, I hope this could be done through
configuration because I don't have experience in .Net. By the way, do you
know where can I find resources related to programming Project Server 2007?.
Should I created a Webpart to do this?

Hello,

I would try MSDN as the 1st port of call, but as I'm not a programmer, I
can't suggest where else to go...

This might be close to what you're looking for:

Also the EPM Live Project Publisher might do something like this. I haven't
played with it enough to know for sure:

Thank you very much for the information. Sadly I'll have to wait until
September 29 to see this Webcast, but it seems to be what I need (the problem
is that I'm not a .Net Developer). Do you know if I need to create a Webpart
to accomplish this?

Hi Cnegroni.
As the webcast name implies you will have to have som mechanism that imports
the data from the wss list and populate the project custom field. Definitely
a programming task I would say.

A webpart does not do the job since it is user invoked. Rather you need an
event receiver on the survey list that could add the data to the Project
plan. Or some kind of service that traverses all project plans on a daily
schedule?

Maybe you could do fine creating a report in reporting services (recuires
SQL skills for example) to extract the survey data for each project. That is
- if you don't acually need the survey result persisted in the plan for some
reason.

Actually, you don't have to wait that long. The article that goes with the
webcast is going live on MSDN today, and you can get the sample code from
our site. This content is from the upcoming book by Stephen Sanderlin,
Developer's Guide to Microsoft Project Server 2010, which also covers 2007.

You can find the links to the article and code download on our site at:
http://projectserverbooks.com/books/developersguidetoprojectserver2010.aspx

Note that the MSDN content was not live as of the writing of this post,
however it should be live later on today, 9/9/9

Hi, thank you very much for your information. In fact, the problem is now a
little bit simpler, I mean the idea is to evaluate the survey when it is
finished and after that calculate the value of the survey and copy it to a
field in another list or in a field in the same survey list. So, I wonder if
I could do this using Sharepoint Designer 2007. What do you think?.

Hi, thank you very much for your information, I downloaded the code and I'm
going to read the article and with that maybe I could have and idea about how
hard is to accomplish my task.
