'Usage
Dim instance As LoginWindows
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.Login()
[SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/LoginWindows/Login", RequestNamespace = "https://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/LoginWindows/",

public bool Login()

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
Because of claims authentication for Windows applications, the Login method in applications based on Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) always returns false; no SOAP exceptions are returned.

Remarks

Note

The Login method should not be used for applications that use WCF or that access the PSI on a Project Server installation that uses only claims authentication. Applications can use integrated Windows authentication automatically through claims authentication.

For more information about developing ASMX-based applications in a multi-authentication environment, see Prerequisites for ASMX-Based Code Samples.
