Shows how to add extended attributes for an assignment.

var project = new Project(DataDir + "Blank2010.mpp");

// Assign resource "1 TRG: Trade Group" to the "TASK 1" by creating a ResourceAssignment object.
var task = project.RootTask.Children.Add("Task");
var resource = project.Resources.Add("Resource");
var assignment = project.ResourceAssignments.Add(task, resource);

// Create custom attribute definition with lookup.
var definition = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.CreateLookupResourceDefinition(CustomFieldType.Cost, ExtendedAttributeResource.Cost5, "My lookup resource cost");
project.ExtendedAttributes.Add(definition);

var firstValue = new Value { NumericValue = 1500, Description = "Val 1", Id = 1, Val = "1500" };
var secondValue = new Value { NumericValue = 2500, Description = "Val 2", Id = 2 };
definition.AddLookupValue(firstValue);
definition.AddLookupValue(secondValue);

// This value can be seen in "Resource usage" view of MS Project.
var attributeValue = definition.CreateExtendedAttribute(firstValue);
assignment.ExtendedAttributes.Add(attributeValue);

Console.WriteLine("Number of assignment's extended attribute: " + assignment.ExtendedAttributes.Count);
foreach (var attribute in assignment.ExtendedAttributes)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Extended attribute alias: " + attribute.AttributeDefinition.Alias);
}
