Convert Project Data to CSV, Text and MPT

Microsoft Project (MSP) allows developers to save project data (MPP/XML) comma-delimited (CSV), text and MPT templates. Aspose.Tasks for C++ API also allows you to save project data to the same formats similar to MSP. This is achieved using the standard Save method exposed by the Project class.

Saving a Project as CSV

The following code snippet shows how to save a project as a CSV format.

System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>(dataDir + u"CreateProject1.mpp");
project->Save(dataDir + u"SaveProjectAsCSV_out.csv", Aspose::Tasks::Saving::SaveFileFormat::CSV);

Save Project to Text

// Read the input Project file
System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>(dataDir + u"CreateProject2.mpp");
    
// Save the Project as text
project->Save(dataDir + u"SaveProjectAsText_out.txt", Aspose::Tasks::Saving::SaveFileFormat::TXT);

Save Project Data as Template (MPT)

const System::String projectName = u"Project2.mpp";
System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>(dataDir + projectName);
System::SharedPtr<ProjectFileInfo> projectFileInfo = Project::GetProjectFileInfo(dataDir + projectName);
        
if (Aspose::Tasks::FileFormat::MPP14 == projectFileInfo->get_ProjectFileFormat())
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(u"Project file format is ok");
}
        
System::SharedPtr<SaveTemplateOptions> options = System::MakeObject<SaveTemplateOptions>();
options->set_RemoveActualValues(true);
options->set_RemoveBaselineValues(true);
        
const System::String templateName = u"SaveProjectDataAsTemplate_out.mpt";
project->SaveAsTemplate(dataDir + templateName);
        
System::SharedPtr<ProjectFileInfo> templateFileInfo = Project::GetProjectFileInfo(dataDir + templateName);
if (Aspose::Tasks::FileFormat::MPT14 == templateFileInfo->get_ProjectFileFormat())
{
    System::Console::WriteLine(u"Template FileFormat is ok");
}
