Code Samples

Pass Encoding when Reading Primavera XER Files

This C# code example demonstrates how you can pass encoding while reading Primavera XER files using the project management API:

LoadOptions lo = new LoadOptions();
lo.Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1251);
lo.PrimaveraReadOptions = new PrimaveraReadOptions();
var project = new Project("encoding1251.xer", lo);

Read Baseline Projects of Primavera XML-format

The following code sample showcases how to read Primavera XML-format baseline projects:

Project project = new Project("BaselineProjects.xml");

Console.WriteLine("Current baseline project uid: " + project.PrimaveraProperties.CurrentBaselineProjectId);

foreach (var baselineProject in project.PrimaveraProperties.BaselineProjects)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Baseline project: uid: {0}, name: '{1}'", baselineProject.Uid, baselineProject.Name);
}

var baseline1 = project.PrimaveraProperties.BaselineProjects[1];

var task = GetTaskByActivityId(project, "A1000");
var baselineTask = GetTaskByActivityId(baseline1, "A1000");

Console.WriteLine("Task budgeted total cost: " + task.PrimaveraProperties.BudgetedTotalCost);
Console.WriteLine("Task baseline budgeted total cost: " + baselineTask.PrimaveraProperties.BudgetedTotalCost);
