  • What's New for Developers in Project 2010 (programmability changes for SP1)

  600 managed code types (classes that include new descriptions for one or more properties, methods, and events) are updated. There are new code samples for the following PSI methods:

  • QueueDeleteProjects
  • ReadResource
  • UpdateStatus
  • ReadProjectStatus
  • SubmitStatusForResource
  • ReadStatusForResource
  • ReadEventHandlerAssociationsForEvent
  • UpdateEventHandlerAssociations
  • CreateEventHandlerAssociations

  New / updated items in the Project 2010 SDK download, which was last updated March 7:

  • Project2010SDK.chm is an HTML Help file that includes the same updated content that is online. In the managed code reference section, 99.8% of the types and members now have descriptions (26,530 out of a total 26,576 topics). That is up from 77.7% at RTM.
  • WINPROJ.DEV.hxs remains unchanged from the March update of VBA Help. There are instructions for replacing the local VBA Help file that was shipped with the Project RTM release.
  • IntelliSense files are updated for the PSI proxy assembly and the Project Server assemblies, to show descriptions of classes and members while programming in Visual Studio. The type and member descriptions have the same updates as in the HTML Help file (and in MSDN online).
  • The Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library.dll assembly is updated for distribution with third-party solutions for SP1.
  • Event handler solution: TestProjectEventHandlers.
  • Test application for the Queue System: UsingQueueSystem shows an example of when to wait for the queue, and when you don’t need to wait.
  • ProjTool has a minor update, so the functionality of the Project Details dialog matches the description in Using the ProjTool Test Application.
  • New PSI code samples include complete WCF-based solutions for the following events: ProjectEventReceiver: OnCreating, OnCreated, OnSaved. Other new solutions show the use of the following PSI methods: QueueDeleteProjects, CreateEventHandlerAssociations, UpdateEventHandlerAssociations, ReadEventHandlerAssociationsForEvent, using the ReadResources and ReadResource methods to get the RBS custom field, creating a changeXml parameter to for a different resource with the UpdateStatus method, and using SubmitStatusForResource and ReadStatusForResource.
