public ObjectLinkProviderDataSet ReadTaskLinkedWebObjects(
Guid taskUid,
int filterWebObjectTypes
)
Parameters
- taskUid
Type: System.Guid
Contains the task GUID.
- filterWebObjectTypes
Type: System.Int32
Specifies the web object type.
Return Value
Type: [ObjectLinkProvider Web service].ObjectLinkProviderDataSet
Examples
The example uses the SvcObjectLinkProvider namespace in the ProjectServerServices.dll proxy assembly. The ConfigureClientEndPoints method uses an app.config file for setting the WCF binding, behavior, and endpoint. For information about creating a PSI proxy assembly and an app.config file, see Prerequisites for WCF-Based Code Samples.
Note
This example is designed to demonstrate the use of the ReadTaskLinkedWebObjects method; it is not a full solution.
Before you run the sample application, perform the following steps:
Use Project Professional 2010 to create and publish a project with at least one task.
Use Project Web App to open the project site.
Create at least one issue or risk in the Issue or Risk SharePoint list of the project site.
Create web object links. For more information, see CreateWebObjectLinks
Change the constructor values according to your example.
Add a web service reference to https://localhost/pwa/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx, and name it WebSvcLists.
Here’s what this example does:
Verifies that the project and task exist and gets their corresponding GUIDs.
Get the SharePoint items linked to the specified task and writes the contents of the dsLinkedObjects DataSet, to the OLPDataset.xml file.
