Viewing Microsoft Project データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer

How to view Microsoft Project データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer using the CData ODBC Driver for Microsoft Project.

最終更新日：2023-06-12

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for Microsoft Project, you gain access to live Microsoft Project データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update Microsoft Project データ. This article will walk through connecting to Microsoft Project using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to Microsoft Project

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Authentication セクションのUser およびPassword プロパティを、有効なMicrosoft Project ユーザークレデンシャルに設定する必要があります。加えて、URL を有効なMicrosoft Project サーバーの組織ルート、またはMicrosoft Project サービスのファイルに指定する必要があります。

Connecting to Microsoft Project データ Using Data Explorer

You can create a simple application for displaying Microsoft Project データ by utilizing the CData FireDAC Components for Microsoft Project and a new VCL Forms Application:

Open the Data Explorer in RAD Studio and expand FireDAC.
Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
Click Add New Connection.
Enter a name for the connection.
In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for Microsoft Project.
Back in the Data Explorer, expand the tables for the connection.
Create a new VCL Forms application and drag a table (for example: Projects) onto the form.
Select the ProjectsTable object on the form and set the Active property to true.
Right-click on the object, bind visually, and link everything (*) to a new control (TStringGrid).
Arrange the TStringGrid on the form and run the application to see the Projects data.
