Project 2010 Development

Working with Project 2010

• When to Wait, and When Not to Wait for the Queue
  

  Use a test application that shows how to use the Project Server Queue Service. Sometimes it is not necessary to programmatically wait for a queue-based method in the PSI.

• Create a Project Server Event Handler
  

  Learn how to develop, debug, and deploy an event handler for the Project Creating pre-event. Write a message to the Application Events log and to the ULS trace log.

• Use the Updated ProjTool Test Application
  

  ProjTool is a useful application for testing, creating, and examining Project Server data for development. The ProjTool source code is updated for WCF and provides extensive examples of programming with the PSI.

• Develop a Project Server Web Part
  

  Use the SharePoint Developer Tools in Visual Studio 2010 to create and deploy a Visual Web Part that uses the ListProjects PSI extension and the JS Grid control. You can add the Web Part to a Project Web App page, a project details page (PDP), or a project site page.

• Use Managed Code to Modify the Ribbon in Project 2010
  

  Learn how to use Visual Studio tools to add a command to the ribbon in Project Standard and Project Professional.

• Modify the Project Web App Ribbon
  

  Use simple XML definition files in Visual Studio to create SharePoint features that can add, remove, modify, or disable buttons and other controls on the Project Web App ribbon.

• Develop a Project Server Workflow
  

  Configure the Visual Studio 2010 toolbox with Project Server workflow activities, and then build and deploy a Project Server workflow for demand management.
