Add Extended Attribute Definition to a Project & Improved MPP Loading using .NET

What's New in this Release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 17.1.0. This month’s release brings improvement to the public API for working with custom fields of a project. The new implementation makes it simple for creating extended attributes. This release also fixes a number of bugs reported with earlier version of the API. This release has improved the public API for working with custom fields i.e. Tasks as well as Resources. The improved version of this API simplifies adding an extended attribute definition to project and create extended attribute from this definition. The new implementation provides individual implementations for working with plain and lookup custom fields. The static methods of ExtendedAttributeDefinition class allow the creation of each type of extended attribute, such as Create Task Definition, CreationResourceDefinition, CreateLookupTaskDefinition and CreateLookupResourceDefinition. The sample code on the blog announcement page shows a basic illustration of this improved implementation for creating a Task lookup extended attribute. This month’s release also fixes several bugs that improve the overall API functionality, such as working with Extended Attributes of the API, lookup values error while assigning to task, large file size after creating task baseline and Saving Extended Task Attributes to output MPP. This release includes plenty of new features as listed below

• Improve public API to simplify working with Custom Fields.
• Extended attribute lookup table is not showed in XML format.
• MPP cannot be loaded into Project object
• False lookup table attached with an extended attribute while adding lookup with another extended attribute

• Marking Tasks As Complete - Task Complete Indicator Not Displayed
• Extended attribute not saved properly to MPP file

Other most recent bug fixes are also included in this release
