What is new in this release?

We are happy to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 6.9.0 . This month?s release includes enhancements to the existing API features in order to resemble the behavior of Microsoft Project. This month?s release brings a number of enhancements to project data rendering that enables users to get the same output from various aspects similar to Microsoft Project. Rendering Graphical Column Indicators - Microsoft Project renders graphical indicators in columns while writing project data to output PDF or other formats. These include task indicators, resource indicators and assignment indicators. These show graphical depiction of status based on the value of particular data available. This months? release of Aspose.Tasks for .NET provides the same functionality by implementing all these graphical indicators which are rendered to output PDF or any other format while exporting Project data. Rendering Gantt Chart Lines in Gradient ? The new version of Aspose.Tasks allows setting the Gradient color of the lines while rendering project data to formats such as PDF. This was not supported by the earlier versions of Aspose.Tasks. User can control whether the output lines should have solid or gradient color using the Boolean flag provided in SaveOptions. Show/Hide Gantt Chart view ? Aspose.Tasks now supports rendering Task Sheet view to other formats such as PDF, thus providing the capability to show/hide Gantt chart view. This month?s release also includes a number of bug fixes reported with our previous version. This includes exceptions while loading specific MPP files, formatting loss while exporting project data to HTML, and missing title in Timeline view. Below is the complete list of new features and important bug fixes included in this release.

- Implement Resource.GUID field reading/writing for mpp 2007 file format and add public field Resource.GUID.
- Use source file GanttchartView information to render the project data like GanttBarStyle start shape, end shape and middle color
