Custom Field and Lookup Table Webcast

  • Статья

Hello,

Attached is my source code and power point presentation of today's webcast on custom fields and lookup tables:

  • CustomFieldCRUD - This a very simple application that shows how to create, read, update and delete custom field definitions on Project Server 2007 using the PSI.
  • PublishProjects - This is an application that was written for our internal dogfood effort. We use this application to publish all the Project team's project plans on our Project Server. It shows how to read project custom fields and lookup table values from the Project PSI.
  • Custom Fields and Lookup Tables - This is a PDF version of the slide deck used for the presentation.

We will be publishing the presentation to the web in the next few days. Once it is available, I will post a link to it.

    I am having a problem while updating a custom field value of a specific project when OnPublishing event of project server raises. When I log on the Project Web Access with svc-emp user then it works fine and value of custom field updates, but when I log on on Project web access with different user it raises an exception that CICOCheckedOutToOtherUser. Following is my code, please any solution... using System; using System.Diagnostics; using Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Events; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Net;

    I'm not certain about custom fields but when I have updated Actual times in Assignments - using impersonation - I had to log onto windows as the "farm admin" user. Even another admin user with identical privs did not help. A MS tech support person confirmed that the "SSP-level" impersonation (using the derived classes) required being logged in as the Farm Admin. At one site, I was able to get around that restriction by using "windows-level" impersonation (using the Win32 API) to impersonate to the farm admin in the program before calling the PSI call. Hope this helps. Ken Henderson
