public interface View

This interface represents a view of a set of project data that has been instantiated within an MS Project file. View data is instantiated when a user first looks at a view in MS Project. Each "screen" in MS Project, for example the Gantt Chart, the Resource Sheet and so on are views. If a user has not looked at a view (for example the Resource Usage view), information about that view will not be present in the MPP file.
