Adding Assignments to a Project
Assignments are used to bind the task and resources. Project class exposes Assignments collection that represents the list of all the Assignment objects in a project. This property can be used to add assignment.
The code below shows adding assignments to a project:
// Creating an instance of the Project
Project project = new Project();
// Creating a task
Task task = new Task();
task.Name = "Task1";
// Adding the task to project
project.RootTask.Children.Add(task);
// Calculating Task ID
project.CalculateTaskIDs();
// Creating a resource
Resource resource = new Resource();
resource.Name = "Resource1";
// Adding resource to project
project.Resources.Add(resource)
// Calculating Resource ID
project.CalculateResourceIDs()
// Creating an instance of Assignment
Assignment assignment = new Assignment();
assignment.UID = 1;
// Assigning resource to task
assignment.Task = task;
assignment.Resource = resource;
// Adding resource to project
project.Resources.Add(resource);' Creating an instance of Project
Dim project As Project = New Project()
' Creating an instance of Task
Dim task As Task = New Task()
task.Name = "Task1"
' Adding the task to project
project.RootTask.Children.Add(task)
' Calculating Task ID
project.CalculateTaskIDs()
' Creating an instance of Resource
Dim resource As Resource = New Resource()
resource.Name = "Resource1"
' Adding resource to project
project.Resources.Add(resource)
' Calculating Resource ID
project.CalculateResourceIDs()
' Creating an instance of Assignment
Dim assignment As Assignment = New Assignment()
assignment.UID = 1
' Assigning tasks and resource to assignment
assignment.Task = task
assignment.Resource = resource
' Adding an assignment to a project
project.Assignments.Add(assignment)The project created using the above code will look as shown in the following Microsoft Project screenshot.
