This year at TechEd I'm delivering the following session:

Enterprise Project Management: Developer Options
6/8/2007 10:45AM-12:00PM
As Project and Portfolio Server are deployed in many enterprise scenarios it is important to understand their integration capabilities with line-of-business systems (like SAP). This session provides you with an overview of Project and Portfolio Server 2007 Development features like PPSI (Project Portfolio Server Interface), PSI (Project Server Interface), Server Side events, and Workflows developed with Windows Workflow Foundation.
While giving this session I’ve added in the following code demos:
Demo
Description
From SDK?
PPSI General
Looking at what is available through the PPSI
Yes
PSI General
Creating and updating a project
No
PSI Dataset
Spelunking through the custom datasets
Events
A custom event handler
PWA Customization
A custom web part for PWA
It would be silly for me to post code for SDK samples. So I’ll leave finding them in the SDK as an exercise for the reader. BTW all my samples are designed to run against the Litware demo database included in the EPM VM.
In this post I’m putting the PSI General sample, CreateProject. The sample creates a project with some tasks, then publishes it. Finally it adds some enterprise resources to the project. As with all samples, the code is not production ready, is meant to illustrate concepts not necessarily best code practices, and should not be deployed as is or Mr Biggins will put you in the comfy chair.*** Most of the calls are standard faire for PSI, but some of the utility methods I put in may prove useful for your work. The C# project is attached in a zip file.
