Examples and additional notes

Related issue: TASKSNET-4769 - Remove an ability to set Tsk.Id when using CalculationMode.Manual and CalculationMode.Automatic.

The logic for Tsk.Id field was changed: it can no longer be set directly and is calculated by Aspose.Tasks (in the same manner as MS Project doesn’t allow “Id” column to be set). The above is true for CalculationMode.Manual and CalculationMode.Automatic modes.

You can use CalculationMode.None to set the value Tsk.Id on your own risk, but these values can overwritten when project is recalculated (see the example).

Project project = new Project();
var task = project.RootTask.Children.Add("task 1");
// task.Set(Tsk.Id, 100); // Throws System.InvalidOperationException in Aspose.Tasks for .NET 21.4.
project.CalculationMode = CalculationMode.None;
task.Set(Tsk.Id, 100);
Console.WriteLine(task.Get(Tsk.Id)); // Outputs 100
project.CalculationMode = CalculationMode.Automatic;
project.Recalculate();
Console.WriteLine(task.Get(Tsk.Id)); // Outputs 1

It’s also worth reminding that Tsk.Id cannot be used as a stable identifier of a task because its value can be recalculated when tasks tree is changed. Field Tsk.Uid (corresponds to MS Project’s ‘Unique ID’ field) can be used as a stable identifier instead. Consider the following example:

var project = new Project();
var task1 = project.RootTask.Children.Add("Task 1");
var task2 = project.RootTask.Children.Add("Task 2");
var task3 = project.RootTask.Children.Add("Task 3");

Console.WriteLine("Task1.Id: {0}", task1.Get(Tsk.Id));
Console.WriteLine("Task2.Id: {0}", task2.Get(Tsk.Id));
Console.WriteLine("Task3.Id: {0}", task3.Get(Tsk.Id));

Console.WriteLine();
var task11 = task1.Children.Add("Task 11");

Console.WriteLine("Task1.Id: {0}", task1.Get(Tsk.Id));
Console.WriteLine("Task11.Id: {0}", task11.Get(Tsk.Id));
Console.WriteLine("Task2.Id: {0}", task2.Get(Tsk.Id));
Console.WriteLine("Task3.Id: {0}", task3.Get(Tsk.Id));

The output is

Task1.Id: 1
Task2.Id: 2
Task3.Id: 3

Task1.Id: 1
Task11.Id: 2
Task2.Id: 3
Task3.Id: 4

Thus the values of ‘Id’ field of task2 and task3 were changed after new task is inserted.
