OutlineCodes

Task.OutlineCodes property

Gets or sets OutlineCodeCollection object.

Remarks

Two pieces of data are necessary - a pointer to the outline code table that is specified by the FieldID, and the value that is specified either by the ValueID or ValueGUID pointer to the value list.

Examples

Show how to read task’s outline code values.

var project = new Project(DataDir + "OutlineCodes2003.mpp");
    var mapping = new Dictionary<string, OutlineValueCollection>();

    // ReSharper disable once LoopCanBeConvertedToQuery //ExSkip
    foreach (var code in project.OutlineCodes)
    {
        mapping.Add(code.FieldId, code.Values);
    }

    var task = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(2);
    foreach (var code in task.OutlineCodes)
    {
        var val = GetOutlineValue(mapping[code.FieldId], code.ValueId);
        Console.WriteLine("Outline value: " + val);
    }
}

public static object GetOutlineValue(OutlineValueCollection collection, int valueId)
{
    object obj = null;

    // ReSharper disable once LoopCanBeConvertedToQuery //ExSkip
    foreach (var value in collection)
    {
        if (value.ValueId != valueId)
        {
            continue;
        }

        obj = value.Value;
        break;
    }

    return obj;
}
