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 datatype.

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 example given below demonstrates the task baseline schedule in a console window after traversing a task’s baselines.

// Create project instance
System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>();
    
// Creating TaskBaseline
System::SharedPtr<Task> task = project->get_RootTask()->get_Children()->Add(u"Task");
project->SetBaseline(Aspose::Tasks::BaselineType::Baseline);
    
// Display task baseline schedule
System::SharedPtr<TaskBaseline> baseline = task->get_Baselines()->ToList()->idx_get(0);
System::Console::WriteLine(u"Baseline duration is 1 day: {0}", System::ObjectExt::Box<bool>(System::ObjectExt::Equals(System::ObjectExt::ToString(baseline->get_Duration()), u"1 day")));
System::Console::WriteLine(u"BaselineStart is same as Task Start: {0}", System::ObjectExt::Box<bool>(System::ObjectExt::Equals(baseline->get_Start(), task->Get<System::DateTime>(Tsk::Start()))));
System::Console::WriteLine(u"BaselineFinish is same as Task Finish: {0}", System::ObjectExt::Box<bool>(System::ObjectExt::Equals(baseline->get_Finish(), task->Get<System::DateTime>(Tsk::Finish()))));
