Hi

There is a MS Project file and an ASP.NET application (C#) which have
some tables (SQLServer) related to the information in the project file

What i want to achieve is:

- Read the project file and update some tables used by the app.
- When a change is made to the tables from the app, update the project
file with the changes.

I think this can be done using the Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject.

But it can also be the other way:
- Someone updates the Project file, and i need to update those tables
in the application.
For this i have two ideas:
- Make an ASP.NET page, with 2 frames, on one, the project file, on
the other an "update" button which updates the tables with the
information in the project file) (restricting the use of the project
file only through the app)
- Make an add-in for MSProject which send some call to update the
tables when THAT SPECIFIC FILE" is saved.

there is another possibilty that is to check the last time the file was
modified and update the tables... but i don't really like that one.

There is another restriction: we can't use any extra commercial 3rd
party components (except free ones).

This is gonna be part of a 1 year project and i want to see if it is
possible and what to look for before we are in the middle of the
project and it is too late.

Any pointers on what to read to learn that?
any links? any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Ezequiel
