Question
I have to open up MSProject file from a different Sharepoint site and ensure that all the tasks are read from the file and bound to ASP.NET Grid.
I have used the office Interop assemblies and have encountered some errors.
I also came to know that Microsoft doesn't support server side office automation.
Is there any recommended way of achieveing this?
Solution
You could also try Aspose Tasks:
http://www.aspose.com/categories/.net-components/aspose.tasks-for-.net/default.aspx
We are using Aspose for Word, Excel and Powerpoint for years. Works pretty well.
OTHER TIPS
Try the MPXJ library. There is a .Net version apparently. Probably a heck of a lot lower overhead than Interop assemblies.
