Parameters

  • linkTypes
    Type: []

    Contains an array of link types.

Return value

Type: System.Int32

Examples

The example uses the SvcObjectLinkProvider namespace in the ProjectServerServices.dll proxy assembly. The ConfigureClientEndPoints method uses an app.config file for setting the WCF binding, behavior, and endpoint. For information about creating a PSI proxy assembly and an app.config file, see Prerequisites for WCF-based code samples in Project 2013.

Note

This example demonstrates the use of the CreateWebObjectLinks method; it is not a full solution.

Before you run the sample application, perform the following steps:

  1. Use Project Professional 2013 to create and publish a project with at least one task.

  2. Use Project Web App to open the project site.

  3. Create at least one issue or risk in the Issue or Risk SharePoint list of the project site.

  4. Change the constructor values according to your example.

  5. Add a web service reference to https://localhost/pwa/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx, and name it WebSvcLists.

This example performs the following tasks:

  • Verifies that the project, task, and project site exist and gets their corresponding GUIDs.

  • Links a task and a SharePoint list item (in this case, an Issue).

  • Links a task and a generic object.

  • Gets the list of SharePoint items that are linked to a task and writes the contents of the ObjectLinkProvider dataSet dsLinkedObjects to an XML file.

  • Gets a list of generic items that are linked to a task.

  • Deletes the links to web objects.

For more information about how the sample code works, see Procedures 1-6 in How to: Use the OLP to Link an Object to a Task. The complete sample code is as follows.
