Namespace:  WebSvcResource
Assembly:  ProjectServerServices (in ProjectServerServices.dll)

Syntax

'Usage
Dim instance As Resource
Dim resourceUid As Guid
Dim returnValue As ResourceDataSet

returnValue = instance.ReadResource(resourceUid)
[SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Resource/ReadResource", RequestNamespace = "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/Resource/",

public ResourceDataSet ReadResource(
    Guid resourceUid
)

Parameters

  • resourceUid
    Type: System.Guid

    A GUID of the desired resource.

Return value

Type: WebSvcResource.ResourceDataSet
The ResourceDataSet includes detailed information in Resources and ResourceCustomFields tables.

Remarks

If you call ReadResource and pass in a GUID for a resource that no longer exists in the system, ReadResource returns a GeneralSecurityAccessDenied error.

Project Server Permissions

Permission

Description

ManageUsersAndGroups

Allows a user to manage all enterprise users, resources and groups. Global permission.

ViewEnterpriseResourceData

Allows a user to view enterprise resource data for this resource. Category permission.

AcceptTimesheets

Allows the current user to accept, but not approve, timesheets. Succeeds only if the resource requested is the same as the current user. Global permission.

Examples

The WCF-based CreateResourceTest example does the following:

  1. Parses the command arguments for resource name and percent availability.

  2. Creates a ResourceDataSet object that contains basic resource and availability data.

  3. Writes an XML file of the initial ResourceDataSet contents.

  4. Calls the CreateResources method, and then updates the ResourceDataSet object by calling the ReadResource method.

  5. Writes an XML file of the updated ResourceDataSet contents. Comparing the values you set with the two XML files shows the additional resource data that Project Server internally creates.

For information about using the code sample in a Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 project and creating an app.config file for configuration of the WCF endpoint, see Prerequisites for WCF-based code samples in Project 2013.

Comparing the two files shows, for example, that Project Server internally sets the RES_MAX_UNITS property with a value that corresponds to the RES_AVAIL_UNITS property value.

The following example retrieves enterprise resources, creating several if they are not present, reads the resource using a resource filter, checks out each resource if available, updates the RES_CODE property of available resources, and checks the resources back in. It reports the before state, updates made, and the after state of the resources.
