Retrieve all the Task Items in a Project

IEnumerable<TaskProjectItem> taskItems = Project.Current.GetItems<TaskProjectItem>();
foreach (var item in taskItems)
{
  // do something
}

Open a Task File - .esriTasks file

// Open a task file
try
{
  // TODO - substitute your own .esriTasks file to be opened
  string taskFile = @"c:\Tasks\Get Started.esriTasks";
  //At 2.x -
  //System.Guid guid = await TaskAssistantModule.OpenTaskAsync(taskFile);
  System.Guid guid;
  if (TaskAssistantFactory.Instance.CanOpenTaskFile(taskFile))
    guid = await TaskAssistantFactory.Instance.OpenTaskFileAsync(taskFile);

  // TODO - retain the guid returned for use with CloseTaskItemAsync
}
catch (OpenTaskException e)
{
  // exception thrown if task file doesn't exist or has incorrect format
  ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}

Open a Project Task Item

// get the first project task item
var taskItem = Project.Current.GetItems<TaskProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault();
// if there isn't a project task item, return
if (taskItem == null)
  return;

try
{
  // Open it
  //At 2.x -
  //System.Guid guid = await TaskAssistantModule.OpenTaskItemAsync(taskItem.TaskItemGuid);
  var guid = await TaskAssistantFactory.Instance.OpenTaskItemAsync(taskItem.TaskItemGuid);

  // TODO - retain the guid returned for use with CloseTaskItemAsync
}
catch (OpenTaskException e)
{
  ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}

Close a Task Item

// find the first project task item which is open
var taskItem = Project.Current.GetItems<TaskProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(t => t.IsOpen == true);
// if there isn't a project task item, return
if (taskItem == null)
  return;

if (taskItem.IsOpen)
{
  // close it
  // NOTE : The task item will also be removed from the project
  //At 2.x -
  //TaskAssistantModule.CloseTaskAsync(taskItem.TaskItemGuid);
  TaskAssistantFactory.Instance.CloseTaskItemAsync(taskItem.TaskItemGuid);
}

Export a Task Item

// get the first project task item
var taskItem = Project.Current.GetItems<TaskProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault();
// if there isn't a project task item, return
if (taskItem == null)
  return;

try
{
  // export the task item to the c:\Temp folder
  string exportFolder = @"c:\temp";
  //At 2.x -
  //string fileName = await TaskAssistantModule.ExportTaskAsync(taskItem.TaskItemGuid, exportFolder);
  string fileName = await TaskAssistantFactory.Instance.ExportTaskItemAsync(taskItem.TaskItemGuid, exportFolder);
  ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show("Task saved to " + fileName);
}
catch (ExportTaskException e)
{
  ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show("Error saving task " + e.Message);
}

Get Task Information - from a TaskProjectItem

var taskItem = Project.Current.GetItems<TaskProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault();
// if there isn't a project task item, return
if (taskItem == null)
  return;

string message = await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
{

Open a specific Task in a Task File - .esriTasks file

// TODO - substitute your own .esriTasks file to be opened
