Answer 1

You may use Aspose.Tasks for .NET. This component allows you to work with Microsoft Project files. It doesn't require MS Office to be installed on the server, unlike Office Interop. The API is very simple and easy to use. And it provides a rich set of features to read, edit, write, and convert MPP files.

This component is a normal .NET assembly which can be used with your .NET applications. It works on any Windows OS and in 32/64-bit environments as well.
