How to Convert MPP to XPS using C++

In this topic, we will explore how to convert MPP to XPS using C++. XPS is a widely used file format and you can easily export MPP file to XPS in C++ using few API calls with no dependence on MS Project.

Steps to Convert MPP to XPS using C++

  1. Install Aspose.Tasks for C++ using NuGet package Manager tool
  2. Include reference to Aspose::Tasks namespace
  3. Instantiate Project class instance to load the MPP file to save as XPS
  4. Save the MPP file to XPS in C++ using Save method

You can export MPP file to XPS in C++ in few API calls. All you need is to access the MPP file and then save that as XPS in subsequent API call using C++.

void MPPToXPS()
{
// Set license to perform MPP to XPS conversion
SharedPtr<License> AsposeTasksLicense = System::MakeObject<License>();
AsposeTasksLicense->SetLicense(u"licFile");
// The path to sour MPP file and directory.
System::String SourceFile = u"SourceMPPFile.mpp";
// Load the source MPP file to export to XPS
SharedPtr<Project> MppToXps = MakeObject<Project>(SourceFile);
// Save the MPP to XPS in C++
MppToXps->Save(u"MPPSavedToXPS.xps", SaveFileFormat::XPS);
}

Earlier, we learnt how to extract Microsoft Project file metadata in C++. However, in this topic we have focused on MPP to XPS conversion in C++.
