Public Function ReadProjectList As ProjectDataSet

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As Project
Dim returnValue As ProjectDataSet

returnValue = instance.ReadProjectList()

[SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/ReadProjectList", RequestNamespace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/", 
	ResponseNamespace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Project/", 
	Use = SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle = SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
public ProjectDataSet ReadProjectList()

Return Value

Type: [Project Web service].ProjectDataSet
Contains the project name and GUID for each project on the current instance of Project Server.

Remarks

ReadProjectStatus should be used to get a list of projects. ReadProjectList is intended for use with administrative utilities and requires a high level of permissions.

An application must be logged on to a Project Server instance with valid user credentials before it can execute ReadProjectList.

Use the Project property of the ProjectDataSet to access the list of projects.

Project Server Permissions

Permission	Description
ManageQueue	Allows a user to manage the Queuing Service. Global permission.
