General Calendar Properties

General Calendar Properties

Microsoft Project uses calendars and other information to calculate project end dates. Aspose.Tasks for C++ API supports calendar functionality. This article illustrates the calendar properties that can be set and shows how they are applied in code.

The Calendar exposes a number of properties used to define the base calendar in Microsoft Outlook:

• BaseCalendar – the base calendar. This property supports the Calendar object for reading and writing the base calendar for the current calendar instance and is only applicable is the current calendar instance is not already a base calendar.
• Name – the calendar’s name. Get or set the property with a string.
• Uid – the calendar’s unique ID. Integer.

The code example given below demonstrates how to get the general calendar properties.

// Load an existing project
System::String dataDir = Examples::CPP::RunExamples::GetDataDir(System::Reflection::MethodBase::GetCurrentMethod(ASPOSE_CURRENT_FUNCTION)->get_DeclaringType().get_FullName());
System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>(dataDir + u"Project_GeneralCalendarProperties.xml");
    
    
{
    auto cal_enumerator = (project->get_Calendars())->GetEnumerator();
    decltype(cal_enumerator->get_Current()) cal;
    while (cal_enumerator->MoveNext() && (cal = cal_enumerator->get_Current(), true))
    {
        if (cal->get_Name() != nullptr)
        {
            System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"UID : ") + System::Convert::ToString(cal->get_Uid()) + u" Name: " + cal->get_Name());
            
            // Show if it is has a base calendar
            System::Console::Write(u"Base Calendar : ");
            if (cal->get_IsBaseCalendar())
            {
                System::Console::WriteLine(u"Self");
            }
            else
            {
                System::Console::WriteLine(cal->get_BaseCalendar()->get_Name());
            }
            
            // Get Time in hours on each working day
            
            {
                auto wd_enumerator = (cal->get_WeekDays())->GetEnumerator();
                decltype(wd_enumerator->get_Current()) wd;
                while (wd_enumerator->MoveNext() && (wd = wd_enumerator->get_Current(), true))
                {
                    System::TimeSpan ts = wd->GetWorkingTime();
                    System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"Day Type: ") + System::ObjectExt::ToString(wd->get_DayType()) + u" Hours: " + System::ObjectExt::ToString(ts));
                }
            }
        }
    }
