Baseline Task Scheduling

Baseline Task Scheduling

The Start and Finish properties exposed by the TaskBaseLine class are used to read and write a task’s start and finish dates when the baseline was saved. Both properties support the DateTime data type.

After saving a baseline, the task baseline schedule can be viewed in Microsoft Project:

1. From the View menu, select More Views and then Task Entry.
2. From the Insert menu, select Columns.
3. Add the desired columns.

Getting Task Baseline Schedule using Aspose.Tasks

The code below displays the task baseline schedule in a console window after traversing a task’s baselines.

Project project = new Project();

// Creating TaskBaseline
Task task = project.RootTask.Children.Add("Task");
project.SetBaseline(BaselineType.Baseline);

// Display task baseline schedule
TaskBaseline baseline = task.Baselines.ToList()[0];
Console.WriteLine("Baseline duration is 1 day: {0}", baseline.Duration.ToString().Equals("1 day"));
Console.WriteLine("BaselineStart is same as Task Start: {0}", baseline.Start.Equals(task.Get(Tsk.Start)));
Console.WriteLine("BaselineFinish is same as Task Finish: {0}", baseline.Finish.Equals(task.Get(Tsk.Finish)));
