'I don't know what this file format is but I want to convert it to a general format'? Come on. Research the format you are trying to use, understand why it is how it is and then think about what you want to extract out of it for your own application. A Project file contains lots of things and it's likely not to be possible to convert it without losing information.

You will almost certainly need to use COM interop to Project to manipulate the .mpp.

It's ok that you are not aware of the Microsoft Project Management but I believe you can understand that it has some specific features and specific way to represent the data.

If one can convert .MPP to .XLS or .XML or any other format, why would one need a Microsoft Project Management?

Now, in case you want to use other format, you need to manually fit in the data in some other format. If you are expecting same features and working of a MPP format, then it is not possible.

To save an existing project to another format you can use FileSaveAs[^] method for the application via Interop.

For the object map, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff863668.aspx[^]
