How to Extract Task Baseline Data from Microsoft Project Files
Aspose.Tasks for .NET provides functionality to read and write task baseline data in Microsoft Project files. This includes access to time-phased baseline data, baseline number, and interim status indicators. Support depends on the file format (MPP or XML) and the version of Microsoft Project. Time-phased data is fully supported in both formats. The baseline number can be read from MPP files, while interim baseline flags are only available in XML. The table below lists the available baseline-related properties and indicates the support in XML and MPP formats for different versions of Microsoft Project.
