Work with Resource Calendars

The Resource class exposes the Calendar property which is used to set or get the calendar for a resource. This property accepts and returns an Aspose.Tasks.Calendar object.

Working with Resource Calendars

To define a calendar for a resource in Microsoft Project:

1. In the Resource Sheet, double-click the desired resource.
2. Click the Change Working Time button.

Setting Resource Calendar using Aspose.Tasks

The following code example creates a standard calendar and resource and then assigns the calendar to the resource.

// Create project instance and add resource
System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>();
System::SharedPtr<Resource> res = project->get_Resources()->Add(u"Resource1");
    
// Add standard calendar and assign to resource
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Tasks::Calendar> cal = project->get_Calendars()->Add(u"Resource1");
res->Set<System::SharedPtr<Calendar>>(Rsc::Calendar(), cal);

Getting Resource Calendar using Aspose.Tasks

The code example given below demonstrates how to get resource calendars by traversing a project’s resources.

// Create project instance
System::SharedPtr<Project> project1 = System::MakeObject<Project>(dataDir + u"ResourceCalendar.mpp");
    
// Display base calendar name for all resources
    
{
    auto res_enumerator = (project1->get_Resources())->GetEnumerator();
    decltype(res_enumerator->get_Current()) res;
    while (res_enumerator->MoveNext() && (res = res_enumerator->get_Current(), true))
    {
        if (res->Get<System::String>(Rsc::Name()) != nullptr)
        {
            System::Console::WriteLine(res->Get<System::SharedPtr<Calendar>>(Rsc::Calendar())->get_BaseCalendar()->get_Name());
        }
    }
}
