We loading the 2003 .mpp files through ASPOSE. One thing we have noticed is that for a minority of projects, some of the the task links are missing. I've debugged this and found that the predecessors of a task are missing, when we look at the task object.

I've attached an example project that has this problem. See Line ID 22-26 as an example. In MS Proj they are sequentially linked. When loaded in to ASPOSE the predecessors are all missing (nor are there sucessors).

Please resolve this. This is a pretty big problem for us.

Just a nudge to this thread, this issue is seriously hampering our product and it would be great if a workaround/solution could be found.

From the ProjectQuery demo, which you can find from Demos\C#\ProjectQuery when you install Aspose.Tasks, I ran the code given below, which list down the hierarchies of all tasks.

 

I used Aspose.Tasks 1.6.3.0 and also has attached ProjectQuery.cs file

 

The output of the code is correct as you can see it.

Hi Shakeel,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, extracting the heirarchy of the file is not the problem that I am having. When I interrogate the ASPOSE.Task object I correctly get the WBS, OutlineNumber and OutlineLevel which contribute to the heirarchy of the tasks. The problem is the Links between the tasks. These are defined in the Task.Predecessor and Task.Successor collections within each task.  The root task object is fine (as you demonstrated) but these collections within the task are not correctly populated.

Please can you have another look at this. This is really holding us up now.

Is there a resolution to this problem?  We're having the same issue when importing MPP files.

Hi

I too face the same problem. I created the project in MS2003 Sampleproject.mpp. and now i  loaded the project file with aspose.task.dll (2.0.0.9 trial version) to the vb.net project and when iterate the project.tasklinks, i get the count one instead two ( as i created the porject with 3tasks and 2 links). Whereas i have some other projects (.mpp) with couple of tasks and links, and i load those projects and iterate the tasklinks, i get count value exactly what i suppose to get. But if I open all the projects (.mpp) in msporject2003, i can see all links which i have created in those projects exactly.Why this contraversy ? where will be problem is ?

Thanks in advance and Quick reply is most appreciated.
