Namespace:  [Resource Web service]
Service reference: http://ServerName:32843/[Project Service Application GUID]/PSI/Resource.svc

'Usage
Dim instance As Resource

    Use = SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle = SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
public ResourceAssignmentDataSet ReadResourceAssignments(
    string filter
)

Parameters

  • filter
    Type: System.String
    Filter XML string as returned by Filter. A filter is required due to the possible large number of assignments returned. String.Empty returns an error.

Return Value

Type: [Resource Web service].ResourceAssignmentDataSet
A ResourceAssignmentDataSet populated with resource assignment data.

Remarks

Resources must be published before the ReadResourceAssignments method returns them.

Note

The filter parameter works with the Criteria operators to filter rows only in the primary ResourceAssignmentDataTable. For example, you cannot use filter with the ReadResourceAssignments method to filter rows in the ResourceAssignmentCustomFieldsDataTable. If you try to filter rows in a secondary DataTable, the PSI returns a FilterInvalid exception.

However, you can use the Fields.Add method to filter columns in the secondary ResourceAssignmentCustomFieldsDataTable of the ResourceAssignmentDataSet. For more information, see How to: Use a Filter Parameter with PSI Methods.

Retrieving ResourceAssignmentCustomFields Data

To get data for resource assignment custom fields with the ReadResourceAssignments method, the filter parameter must include the PROJ_UID and ASSN_UID fields for the ResourceAssignmentCustomFields table name.

For example, the following filter value results in a System.Data.ConstraintException, because the PROJ_UID field is missing for the ResourceAssignmentCustomFields table name:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <Filter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
         xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
         filterTableName="ResourceAssignment" 
         xmlns="https://microsoft.com/ProjectServer/FilterSchema.xsd">
   <Fields>
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignment" fieldName="PROJ_UID" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignment" fieldName="PROJ_NAME" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignment" fieldName="TASK_UID" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignment" fieldName="ASSN_UID" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignment" fieldName="RES_UID" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignment" fieldName="TASK_IS_SUMMARY" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignmentCustomFields" fieldName="ASSN_UID" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignmentCustomFields" fieldName="MD_PROP_UID" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignmentCustomFields" fieldName="FIELD_TYPE_ENUM" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignmentCustomFields" fieldName="TEXT_VALUE" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignmentCustomFields" fieldName="CODE_VALUE" />
     <Field tableName="ResourceAssignmentCustomFields" fieldName="NUM_VALUE" /> 
  </Fields>
   <Criteria />
 </Filter>

For the filter to work, add the following field:

<Field tableName="ResourceAssignmentCustomFields" fieldName="PROJ_UID" />

Project Server Permissions

Permission

Description

ViewResourceAssignmentsInAssignmentViews

Allows a user to view assignments. Category permission.

Examples

This example retrieves enterprise resource or creates several resources if they do not exist, creates two projects, assigns the resources to the projects, and finally reads the assignments using a filter.
