Parameters

Parameter Name	Description
pProject	Project to which file will be imported. Can't be `null`.
strFileName	Full file name of source file. Can't be `null` or `empty`.
strScheme	Name of the scheme that defines the assignment of the external data fields to the EPLAN properties. Can't be `null` or `empty`.
strAdditionalParameter	Additional parameter used by import routine.
bSkipHeader	If `true` then column names from the data table are output in the `External field` Used only for import from excel file.
pSegmentPlanning	Object below which the imported data are to be inserted. If `null` then data are inserted under project.
bIgnoreErrors	If `true` the import will not be aborted because of errors and messages that occur.
bOverwrite	If `true` then existing planning objects will be overwritten with the data from the planning objects of the same name from the import file. If `false` then existing planning objects remain unchanged.
bUpdateOnly	If `true` then only data of existing structure segments and planning objects will be updated.
bDeleteMissing	If `true` that during import of preplanning data planning objects which are no longer in the import file are deleted from the structure if they belong to the same tree, which is imported.
bShowComparisonDialog	If `true` shows comparison dialog. Other dialogs like error messages will be also shown.

Return Value

Returns true if import is successful.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Null was set to `pProject` parameter.
System.ArgumentException	Thrown when `strFileName` or `strScheme`of `null` or `empty`.

Remarks

Import can be done from excel or text file. If import is done from excel file then additional parameter is interpreted as name of table or data area contained in the data source. In case when import is done from text file then additional parameter is treated to determine the separator that is used in the text file in order to separate the columns.
