Brief Description

(December 2007 1.3 update)
The Microsoft Office Project 2007 SDK contains documentation, code samples, how-to articles, and programming references to help customize and integrate the Project 2007 clients and Project Server 2007 with other applications for enterprise project management. The download also contains the Microsoft Office Project Portfolio Server 2007 database schema references.

Overview

The Microsoft Office Project 2007 SDK is a release for solution providers, value-added resellers, and other developers to learn about the new Project Server 2007 platform, and how to extend and integrate Project Server 2007 with other applications for enterprise project management (EPM). It features conceptual and how-to articles, sample code, and programming references.

The download file for the Project 2007 SDK is updated from the July 2007 SDK download. The pj12ProjectSDK.exe download includes two HTML Help files: PJSDK2007.chm (conceptual topics and managed code reference), and pj12ReportingDB.chm (the Reporting Database Schema reference). OLAPCubeSchemas.xls is a Microsoft Office Excel file that lists the dimensions, measures, and properties of the 14 Project Server OLAP cubes. Additional references include the default Project Guide files and the XML schemas for Project 2007 and the ChangeXML parameter for Statusing methods in the Project Server Interface (PSI).

The Project Portfolio Server 2007 schemas include the AccountData and AccountIndex database references. For more information, see the Project Portfolio Server 2007 Programmer Reference.

The download also includes the following complete sample projects that relate to topics in the SDK: ChangeXML Utility, Custom Web Parts, ERP Connector, two Impersonation samples, Login Demo, Notifications Event Handler, OLP Example, Custom Project Guides, Project Workspace, ProjTool (a tool with source code for testing and development), PSI Extensions, Report Pack, and Test Event Handler. The sample projects use Microsoft Visual C# and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or later. The seven Report Pack samples use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

You can also view the Project 2007 SDK online in the MSDN Library.
