Microsoft Project Server 2010 builds on the Project Server Interface (PSI) Web service framework introduced in Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 and integrates the features of Microsoft Office Project Portfolio Server 2007. The Project Server 2010 platform is built with the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. Many Web methods in the PSI return or consume Microsoft ADO.NET DataSet objects.
