Sample Code to Update a Resource’s Custom Field

Please find below a code sample I wrote that updates a Resource's Custom Field of type Flag.

You can call this method in a loop for instance to automatically reset a CF for all resources.

    1:          public static bool UpdateResourceCustomField(ResourceWS.ResourceDataSet resDS, Guid cfUID, bool flagValue)

    2:          {

    3:              Guid cfExists = GetCUSTOM_FIELD_UID(resDS, cfUID);

    4:              if (cfExists != Guid.Empty)

    5:              {

    6:                  for (int cf = 0; cf < resDS.ResourceCustomFields.Count; cf++)

    7:                  {

    8:                      if (resDS.ResourceCustomFields[cf].MD_PROP_UID == cfUID)

    9:                      {

   10:                          resDS.ResourceCustomFields[cf].FLAG_VALUE = flagValue;

   11:                          return UpdateOneResource(resDS);

   12:                      }

   13:                  }

   14:              }

   15:              else

   16:              {

   17:                  resDS.ResourceCustomFields.AddResourceCustomFieldsRow(AddResourceCustomField(resDS.Resources[0].RES_UID, cfUID, flagValue, resDS));

   18:                  return UpdateOneResource(resDS);

   19:              }   

   20:   

   21:              return false;

   22:          }

  In Project Server 2007 the structure of the custom fields has changed and this is causing some confusion
