Examples

Shows how to write updated extended attribute definitions.

var project = new Project(DataDir + "WriteUpdatedExtendedAttributeDefinitions.mpp");

// Add new text3 extended attribute with lookup and one lookup value
var definition = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.CreateLookupTaskDefinition(ExtendedAttributeTask.Text3, "New text3 attribute");
definition.ElementType = ElementType.Task;

var textVal = new Value
{
    Id = 1,
    Description = "Text value descr",
    Val = "Text value1"
};

definition.AddLookupValue(textVal);

// Add new cost1 extended attribute with lookup and two cost values

    Id = 3,
    Description = "Cost value 2 descr",
    Val = "11100"
};

taskCostAttributeDefinition.AddLookupValue(costVal1);
taskCostAttributeDefinition.AddLookupValue(costVal2);

// Add new task and assign attribute lookup value.
var task = project.RootTask.Children.Add("New task");

var taskAttr = taskCostAttributeDefinition.CreateExtendedAttribute(costVal1);

    DateTimeValue = DateTime.Now,
    Description = "Finish 4 value description"
};

taskFinishAttributeDefinition.ValueList.Add(finishVal);

project.ExtendedAttributes.Add(taskFinishAttributeDefinition);

var numberAttributeDefinition = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.CreateLookupTaskDefinition(ExtendedAttributeTask.Number20, "New number attribute");

val3.Description = "Number 3 value";

numberAttributeDefinition.AddLookupValue(val1);
numberAttributeDefinition.AddLookupValue(val2);
numberAttributeDefinition.AddLookupValue(val3);

project.ExtendedAttributes.Add(numberAttributeDefinition);

var rscStartAttributeDefinition = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.CreateLookupResourceDefinition(ExtendedAttributeResource.Start5, "New start5 attribute");

var value = new Value
{
    Id = 9,
    DateTimeValue = DateTime.Now,
    Description = "this is start5 value descr"
};

rscStartAttributeDefinition.AddLookupValue(value);

project.ExtendedAttributes.Add(rscStartAttributeDefinition);

// Define a duration attribute without lookup.
var taskDurationAttributeDefinition = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.CreateTaskDefinition(ExtendedAttributeTask.Duration1, "New Duration");
project.ExtendedAttributes.Add(taskDurationAttributeDefinition);

// Add new task and assign duration value to the previously defined duration attribute.
var timeTask = project.RootTask.Children.Add("New task");

var durationExtendedAttribute = taskDurationAttributeDefinition.CreateExtendedAttribute();

durationExtendedAttribute.DurationValue = project.GetDuration(3.0, TimeUnitType.Hour);
timeTask.ExtendedAttributes.Add(durationExtendedAttribute);

var options = new MPPSaveOptions
{
    WriteViewData = true
};

project.Save(OutDir + "WriteUpdatedExtendedAttributeDefinitions_out.mpp", options);
