Syntax

'Declaration
<SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/CustomFields/ReadCustomFields", RequestNamespace := "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/CustomFields/",  _
    ResponseNamespace := "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/CustomFields/",  _

Public Function ReadCustomFields ( _
    xmlFilter As String, _
    autoCheckOut As Boolean _
) As CustomFieldDataSet
'Usage
Dim instance As CustomFields
Dim xmlFilter As String
Dim autoCheckOut As Boolean
Dim returnValue As CustomFieldDataSet

returnValue = instance.ReadCustomFields(xmlFilter, _
    autoCheckOut)
[SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/CustomFields/ReadCustomFields", RequestNamespace = "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/CustomFields/", 
    ResponseNamespace = "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/CustomFields/", 
    Use = SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle = SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
public CustomFieldDataSet ReadCustomFields(
    string xmlFilter,
    bool autoCheckOut
)

Parameters

  • xmlFilter
    Type: System.String
    Limits the amount of data returned.
  • autoCheckOut
    Type: System.Boolean
    If true, check out the custom fields for modification.

Return Value

Type: [CustomFields Web service].CustomFieldDataSet
The CustomFieldDataSet contains information specified by the xmlFilter parameter.

Remarks

The primary DataTable in the CustomFieldDataSet is the CustomFieldsDataTable. There are no secondary datatables. The xmlFilter parameter works with the Criteria operators to filter rows in the CustomFieldsDataTable. You can use the Fields.Add method to filter columns in the primary CustomFieldsDataTable.

Note

For Project Server 2010, the returned CustomFieldDataSet can include the Relative Importance custom field and the Project Impact custom fields. Project Web App does not show these custom fields in the Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables page, because they are built-in for portfolio analyses and cannot be modified or deleted.

Tip

The ReadCustomFields method ignores the locale setting of the computer running Project Server. The ReadCustomFields2 method returns locale-dependent values for formulas that calculate custom fields and graphical indicators.
