LANE COVE, Australia - March 19, 2015 - PRLog -- What's New in this Release?

We are happy to announce the release of revamped version of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 8.1.0. The API now supports adding custom fields with formulas, creating and reading custom bar styles, importing Primavera file formats, and others. We provided the support of exporting project data to Primavera XML and XER file formats in one of our earlier versions. With this month’s release, the API now supports importing Primavera XML file formats. This further enriches the file formats supported by the API. With this month’s release, Aspose.Tasks now supports writing and reading formulas to Microsoft Project data extended attributes. The API’s ExtendedAttributeDefinition class provides the Formula property that can be used to set the formula. Once the formula is set, the extended attribute definition can be applied to a task for viewing the results. The attributes are added with Read-Only Access ot the customer fields and cannot be changed.  This month’s release enhances the feature of exporting project data to HTML by providing additional save options. The HtmlSaveOptions now provides further flexibility for exporting only specific pages to the output. Our documentation section, saving project data as HTML, illustrates this feature with a sample code. A child task in can be moved under another task in Microsoft Project (MSP) by simply drag and drop. This moves the task and its children under the new parent. With this month’s release, this can also be achieved with Aspose.Tasks API. An overloaded method of Add has been introduced that accepts another task as input and can be used to move a task under another task. This month’s release introduces another new feature of reading and writing custom bar style for a task.  A task’s bar style can be customized for its shapes such as Mildde Shape, Start Shape, End Shape, and colors of each one of these. This month’s release also fixes a number of bugs that further improves the overall functionality of the API. This includes exceptions raised during MPP to XML conversion and project recalculation. Additionally, it fixes issues related to tasks indentations, wrong API behavior in manual mode and saving certain project files to disc. Bellows is the list of new and enhanced features included in this new release.
