Getting an Assignment’s Stop and Resume Dates using Aspose.Tasks

If an assignment hasn’t been stopped, the stop and resume dates have the value NA. In the evaluation version of Aspose.Tasks, values equal to NA gets the value “1/1/2000”. In the licensed version, NA values equal DateTime.MinValue.

In the following example, an assignment’s stop and resume dates are displayed in a console window after the code’s traversed the assignments in the project.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-tasks/Aspose.Tasks-for-Java
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(StopResumeAssignment.class);

Project prj = new Project(dataDir + "project5.mpp");

for (ResourceAssignment ra : prj.getResourceAssignments()) {
    if (ra.get(Asn.STOP).toString() == "1/1/2000")
        System.out.println("NA");
    else
        System.out.println(ra.get(Asn.STOP).toString());
    if (ra.get(Asn.RESUME).toString() == "1/1/2000")
        System.out.println("NA");
    else
        System.out.println(ra.get(Asn.RESUME).toString());
}
