Remarks

Use the SharedWorkspaceTask object to manage tasks assigned to the members who are collaborating on the documents in the shared workspace.

Use the Item() property of the SharedWorkspaceTasks collection to return a specific SharedWorkspaceTaskobject.

Use the Title property to set the text of the task that appears on the Tasks tab of the Shared Workspace task pane and on the shared workspace Web page. Use the Description property to supply additional information about the task.

Assign the task to a member of the workspace using the AssignedTo property and the member's domain user name. Specify a due date for the task using the DueDate property.

Use the enumerations for task Priority and Status to indicate the relative importance of the task and to update the task's status.

Use the Save method to upload changes to the server after you modify properties of the SharedWorkspaceTask object.

Use the CreatedBy, CreatedDate, ModifiedBy, and ModifiedDate properties to return information about the history of each task.

The following example returns the number of tasks in the shared workspace and information about each task.
