what approach to use instead of server side Office automation for importing tasks from MSProject

I have to open up MSProject file from a different Sharepoint site and ensure that all the tasks are read from the file and bound to ASP.NET Grid.

I have used the office Interop assemblies and have encountered some errors.

I also came to know that Microsoft doesn't support server side office automation.

Is there any recommended way of achieveing this?

  • You could also try Aspose Tasks:

    We are using Aspose for Word, Excel and Powerpoint for years. Works pretty well.
