Recalculate Project Dependent Data Automatically & Better MPP Reading

What’s new in this release?

We are happy to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 6.1.0. Creating a project with default properties was introduced in our last month’s release that provided new methods for adding tasks, resources, task links and resource assignments with default values. Any change in project’s data, e.g. marking tasks as active/inactive, changing assignment’s work, regular work, actual work, etc. also required to recalculate the project’s dependent fields as well. This month’s release has further enhanced the capabilities of Aspose.Tasks for recalculating project’s dependent data automatically while project is being created/modified. The Project class of API now exposes a control flag CalculateAfterEdit (true by default) that decides the recalculation of project's dependent data as detailed in our online article. This month’s release also fixes a number of bugs related to MPP read/write functionality such as setting percent complete/percent work complete, reading assignment delay, reading baseline timephased data from MPP, reading/writing Autolink field in 2003-2013 MPP and some others. This improves the overall functionality of the API. Below is the complete list of new features and important bug fixes included in this release.
