public ResourceDataSet ReadResource(
    Guid resourceUid
)

Parameters

  • resourceUid
    Type: System.Guid
    A GUID of the desired resource.

Return Value

Type: WebSvcResource.ResourceDataSet
A ResourceDataSet populated with detailed information in Resources and ResourceCustomFields.

Remarks

Returns information in the Resources and ResourceCustomFields tables.

If you call ReadResource and pass in a Guid for a resource that no longer exists in the system a GeneralSecurityAccessDenied error is returned.

Project Server Permissions

Permission

Description

ManageUsersAndGroups

Manage all enterprise users, resources and groups. Global permission.

ViewEnterpriseResourceData

View enterprise resource data for this resource. Category permission.

AcceptTimesheets

The current user can accept time sheets. Passes only if the resource requested is the current user. Global permission.

Examples

This 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.
