C# Question
Determining MS Project Task Lineage
I have a MS Project file which I am using the Primary Interop Assemblies to parse. How can I determine the lineage of a task? I was relying on the WBS code, however the client has started to fiddle with this field and it no longer represents the hierarchy of the data.
Edit: By lineage I mean a way to identify where in the hierarchy the task exists. By default the WBS code mimics this perfectly.
I need this information to determine what is the parent for a task.
Example
- A
- B
- B1
- B2
- B3
- C
The Lineage for B3 would be 2.3 (If we counted by 1, like project)

Try the Task object's OutlineNumber property and the PredecessorTasks collection.
