March, 2011

The Project 2010 SDK download and the MSDN online release are both updated. They have the same URLs as previous releases:

• SDK Online:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms512767(office.14).aspx
• SDK Download:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=46007f25-b44e-4aa6-80ff-9c0e75835ad9&displaylang=en
  When you install the download, it adds links in the Start menu, under Microsoft SDKs\Project 2010 SDK.
• Project Developer Center:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/project, will be updated later this week, to show new content.

New conceptual and how-to topics:

• Getting Started with Development for Project 2010 (in the Technical Articles section, online only).
  Note:   Currently, the Technical Articles node is not showing in the MSDN Library TOC, although the article is published; that should be fixed soon.
• How to: Create a Project Server Event Handler and Log an Event (includes writing to the ULS log).

Topic updates since January 14, which was the previous MSDN online update:

• Admin.GetDatabaseTimeout
• Admin.SetDatabaseTimeout

Alex Burton, a Project MVP in Australia, wrote a blog post, Creating a Internet Explorer 9 Jump List for Project Server.

Very handy and easy to deploy by a Project Server administrator, to be available to any PWA user with IE9 who pins the PWA landing page to the Windows 7 taskbar.
