Reading Project Web App (PWA) Enterprise custom fields using CSOM

Project CSOM Read Enterprise CustomFields

The Project CSOM Read Enterprise CustomFields sample uses C# and Project CSOM to demonstrate how to read enterprise custom fields (ECFs) that are defined at the Project Online Web App (PWA) instance and read the ECFs that are defined in each project.

Users typically access ECFs by viewing the Project Details page for a specific project stored in the PWA instance.

Scenario

As a Project/Program/Portfolio portfolio manager, I would like to use an app that displays the custom values my company has associated with our projects.

Using App

1. Add the Project CSOM client package here
2. Update the PWA site
3. Update the login/password to your PWA site.
4. Run the app

Prerequisites

To use this code sample, you need the following:

• PWA Site (Project Online, Project Server 2013 or Project Server 2016)
• Visual Studio 2013 or later
• Project CSOM client library. It is available as a Nuget Package from here
• One or more project stored in the PWA instance that use ECFs.
