// Create project
System::SharedPtr<Project> project = System::MakeObject<Project>(dataDir + u"DefaultProperties.mpp");
// Display default properties
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"New Task Default Start: ") + project->Get<System::DateTime>(Prj::DefaultStartTime()).ToShortDateString());
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"New Task Default Type: ") + System::ObjectExt::ToString(project->Get<TaskType>(Prj::DefaultTaskType())));
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"Resouce Default Standard Rate: ") + System::Convert::ToString(project->Get<double>(Prj::DefaultStandardRate())));
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"Resource Default Overtime Rate: ") + System::Convert::ToString(project->Get<double>(Prj::DefaultOvertimeRate())));
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"Default Task EV Method: ") + System::ObjectExt::ToString(project->Get<EarnedValueMethodType>(Prj::DefaultTaskEVMethod())));
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(u"Default Cost Accrual: ") + System::ObjectExt::ToString(project->Get<CostAccrualType>(Prj::DefaultFixedCostAccrual())));
