.NET API to manipulate Microsoft Project® files

Project management API, for creating, reading, writing and uploading Microsoft Project® documents in graphics, Primavera, Excel, HTML PDF, XPS, XML formats from .NET applications

Aspose.Tasks for .NET offers sets of project management APIs that make it possible for your .NET applications not only to read and manipulate Microsoft Project® documents, but also to write Microsoft Project® documents in both MPP and XML formats, all without using Microsoft Project®. As with API sets for other file formats, the Aspose.Tasks for .NET API works perfectly with all types of .NET applications, including WinForms and Web Form.

The Aspose.Tasks API exposes project data to enable project planning, plan creation, and tracking capabilities. Exceptions and days of the week for the project calendar can also be set.

The Aspose.Tasks API exposes project data such as tasks, resources, resource allocation, and extended data attributes so that developers can manipulate them. Users can fully plan a project by creating and reading tasks and resources and assigning or removing resources in or out of the project. Users can manipulate task limits, priorities, fixed-workload tasks, stop or resume a task and split tasks, manage extended attributes, related tasks, and write updated task data back to the project.

Define calendars and calendar exclusions
Aspose.Tasks for .NET provides its own interaction with the project calendar and calendar exceptions. It can easily process any number of calendars from the project plan.

Support for COM interoperability
Aspose.Tasks for .NET reveals its capabilities through the COM interface. This means that you are not required to limit yourself to using Aspose.Tasks for .NET only on the .NET platform, it can be used in any language you would like through calls through COM services.

Microsoft Office Automation Is No Longer Needed
Aspose.Tasks for .NET is built on the basis of managed code, which does not require the presence of Microsoft Office or Microsoft Project software installed in order to work with MS Project files. It is a great alternative to Microsoft Office in terms of supported features, security, stability, scalability, speed and cost.
