Examples and additional notes

Related issue: TASKSNET-10327 - Implement reading of AutoFilters with multiple values

FilterComparisonType.IsOneOf was added in order to represent auto filters which filter rows based on choices the user makes from a list of specific column’s values in MS Project:

Auto Filter with multiple values

Project project = new Project("AutoFilters.mpp");
var ganttView  = (GanttChartView)project.Views.FirstOrDefault(v => v.Screen == ViewScreen.Gantt);
var autoFilter = ganttView.AutoFilters.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Criteria.Field == Field.TaskText1);
Console.WriteLine(autoFilter.Criteria.Test);
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(",", autoFilter.Criteria.Values));
// The output is
// IsOneOf
// T1,T4444

Related issue: TASKSNET-4719 - IsOverallocated flag is True for tasks that are not overallocated for project plans

We added new task field Tsk.HasOverallocatedResource in order to make overallocations-related API more clear. Sometimes a task can have overallocated resource, but task itself is not overallocated. Consider the following figure: Task1, Task2 have overallocated resource “Resource1”, but Task1 and Task2 are not overallocated.

Task3 is overallocated because Resource3 have 9h work assigned on 3 August. Obviously, Task3 also has overallocated resource “Resource3”.

Overallocations in Task Usage view

Prior to 21.8 Aspose.Tasks for .NET set Tsk.Overallocated for all that kinds of overallocation. Now Aspose.Tasks for .NET will set the properties in the following way for abovementioned example:

task1.Get(Tsk.HasOverallocatedResource) : true
task2.Get(Tsk.HasOverallocatedResource) : true
task3.Get(Tsk.HasOverallocatedResource) : true

task1.Get(Tsk.IsOverallocated) : false
task2.Get(Tsk.IsOverallocated) : false
task3.Get(Tsk.IsOverallocated) : true

resource1.Get(Rsc.Overallocated) : true
resource2.Get(Rsc.Overallocated) : false
resource3.Get(Rsc.Overallocated) : true
