Examples

Shows how to turn of auto calculation of assignment’s costs and to set assignment’s costs explicitly.

var project = new Project();

var task = project.RootTask.Children.Add("New task");
task.Duration = project.GetDuration(TimeSpan.FromHours(15), TimeUnitType.Day);
var resource = project.Resources.Add("Resource");
resource.StandardRate = 10m;

var assignment = project.ResourceAssignments.Add(task, resource);

assignment.Work = project.GetDuration(TimeSpan.FromHours(12), TimeUnitType.Day);
assignment.ActualWork = project.GetDuration(TimeSpan.FromHours(3), TimeUnitType.Day);

Console.WriteLine("Now assignment's cost are auto calculated:");
Console.WriteLine("Actual Cost: {0}", assignment.ActualCost);
Console.WriteLine("Remaining Cost: {0}", assignment.RemainingCost);
Console.WriteLine("Cost: {0}", assignment.Cost);

project.AutoCalculateAssignmentCosts = false;
assignment.ActualCost = 123;
assignment.RemainingCost = 456;
assignment.Cost = 555;

Console.WriteLine("Now auto calculation of assignment's cost is turned off.");
Console.WriteLine("Actual Cost: {0}", assignment.ActualCost);
Console.WriteLine("Remaining Cost: {0}", assignment.RemainingCost);
Console.WriteLine("Cost: {0}", assignment.Cost);
