Programmatically access a Microsoft Project (MPP) file from C#

What are my options for programmatically accessing a Microsoft Project file? What are the pros and cons of each approach?

I will basically need to import all data from the file into another data structure. Using the Office Interop assembies is low on the preference scale.

c# ms-project

Here are the options:

  1. Interop (messy and horribly slow for large projects)
  2. Save project in XML and work with it (messy)
  3. Save project in the database (that's not publishing and it is available for project 2003 only - see ODBC option while saving). I've seen it being used a lot in the integration scenarios
  4. Projette (commercial, $10 per license)
  5. ILog Project Viewer (also commercial)
