    bool validateOnly
)

Parameters

• jobUid
  Type: System.Guid

  The GUID of the queue job.

• sessionUid
  Type: System.Guid

  The GUID of the session in which the queue job is submitted.

• sessionDescription
  Type: System.String

  The description of the session.

• dataset
  Type: WebSvcProject.ProjectDataSet

  Contains the project data.

• validateOnly
  Type: System.Boolean

  If true, only validates the input data and does not perform the action.

Remarks

Use QueueCreateProjectAndCheckOut when you want to make additional changes to the project in this session. This saves a call to the server. If you do not want to make additional changes, use QueueCreateProject.

QueueCreateProjectAndCheckOut is an asynchronous method that sends a message to the Project Server Queuing Service.

The Project class methods, such as QueueCreateProjectAndCheckOut, cannot create, edit, or delete cost resources. If the ProjectDataSet in the dataset parameter includes a cost resource, the method returns the ResourceCannotCreateCostResource error 2076. You can use the CreateResources method to create cost resources, but Resource class methods cannot edit them. For more information, see What the PSI does and does not do.

You cannot use the Project Server Interface (PSI) to create local custom fields in projects. However, the PSI does support editing local custom field values on tasks, resources, and assignments.

When creating a ProjectDataSet.TaskRow, you must specify TASK_DUR_FMT. Otherwise, later use of this project in Project Professional can result in unpredictable behavior, including possible data loss.

Any changes made to enterprise resource properties in ProjectDataSet.ProjectResourceRow will be lost the next time Project Professional refreshes the data from Project Server.

When you add a task to a ProjectDataSet, do not set the TASK_WBS property. The TASK_WBS property is read-only, although it is marked as read/write in the PSI. If you add a task with the TASK_WBS property set to a specified value, Project Professional ignores the value set from the PSI and assigns a value according to the task outline position when you open the project. To see the result in Project Professional, check the WBS code value on the Advanced tab of the Task Information dialog box.

Examples

The following example creates a project, saves it to the server but leaves it checked out, and then checks the project in.
