Visio Timeline

[Lee Newson]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to programatically create a visio timeline using xml
data retrieved via the PDS from Project Server?

The codelibrarian has examples of how to do it from th ecommand line and
using the run command, but this still uses the .mpp file.

Cheers

Lee

This i know:

PDS returns the project in XML format, so i am guessing that i have to
somehow programatically convert the .xml to .MPP (using projimpt?) and then
pass the converted file to the timeline wizard (TLImpt?), at which point i
can render the web part?

Does this sound correct?, can it be done as a web part as the MS Technical
Article "Integrating MS Office Visio 2003 with MS SharePoint Products and
Services" implies that it can, or is there another way to do this?

Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

regards

Lee
