Finding mapping of custom columns in MS Project

[Manasi]

Hi,

I want to read a .MPP file from a .NET application. For this I have
downloaded Primary Interop Assemblies for Office 2003.

Using classes in Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject namespace I could access
most of the task information but I can not find the mappings of the custom
fields.

E.g. If a column Discipline in .MPP file is created by mapping it to column
Text11, then on runtime, I must know that the information in column Text11
actually corresponds to the column Discipline.

Where and how can I find this mapping?

Manasi,
Try looking at the document describing Project's database fields. Search
for prjdb.htm or pjdb.htm, depending on which version of Project you are
using.

For further questions of this nature, you should post to our sister
newsgroup, microsoft.public.project.developer.
