Question

Is it possible with the GTP.Net component to import MS Project “.mpp” file ? if not, is-it possible to extract data from it and recreate a Gantt diagram editable ??

 

Answer

 

< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

No, sorry, GTP.NET does not read .mpp files. The workaround is to use the xml format from MsProject, read it into a dom and iterate and populate either the Gantt directly via the API, or populate the datasets and bind those to the Gantt.

 

Once you have populated the Gantt everything is editable by graphical manipulation.
