VB Add Task And Then Read Task

[Chris Molland]

Hello,

I am developing an application which gathers information from a user,
through a Wizard, and then programatically creates a new Task in MS Project
2007. I then want to present a DataGrid in my application listing all of the
Tasks with names, dates etc.

I want to allow MS Project to automatically level resources and take into
account calendars so I thought I should add the new Task and then read the
Task back again, along with the others, getting the calculated Finish
DateTime.

Is there anything I should be aware of to ensure that I have allowed MS
Project time to calculate the new Finish Date before I read all of the Tasks?
Additionally, sorry, how do you recommend I read all of the Tasks efficiently
to pass them back to my VB application as a DataTable?

Thank you.
