Read Primavera XML File with Multiple Projects & Add Images to Page Header/Footer Using .NET

Lane Cove, Australia, November 28, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of revamped version of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 8.9.0. This month’s release includes new features, enhancements and bug fixes that further improve the overall functionality of the API. A Primavera XML project file may contain more than one project where each project is represented by its unique project id. Aspose.Tasks API now provides the capability to read a specific project from such an XML file using its unique id. This is achieved using the new class, PrimaveraXMLReadingOptions, which provides the option to specify the project unique id to be loaded. It is common for Primavera XML file not to have any WBS inside i.e. contains only activities. Aspose.Tasks can’t read properly such type of file as it needs a root task to create a tree of tasks. In this case, the API creates a Root task even if it doesn’t exist in the file in order to be able to read these particular files. The API now provides PrimaveraXmlOptions to save the XML file with or without the created root task. By default, this value is set to true. This month’s release also introduces an enhancement of working with a page’s header/footer. Microsoft Project has the feature of adding image to a page’s header/footer that is part of the output then. Aspose.Tasks API now provides the same capability of including image in a page header/footer. This month’s release also fixes a number of bugs related to various functional areas of the API. These include, loss of split tasks while saving MPP project file, Issue with reading outline value properties, Problems reading information from Primavera XML files such as wrong dates, calendar exceptions, and durations and exception while loading certain Primavera XML files. Bellows is the list of new and enhanced features included in this new release.
