Hello Swati--

Project Server PSI - WssInterOp web services might be useful in that case.
The [WssInterop Web service] namespace is an arbitrary name for a reference to the WssInterop.asmx web service (or the WssInterop.svc service) of the PSI in Microsoft Project Server 2010. Methods in the WssInterop class can create or delete a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 site for projects, get information about or update the SharePoint sites and settings in a farm, synchronize or update user memberships in SharePoint sites, and determine whether a SharePoint web exists.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/websvcwssinterop_di_pj14mref.aspx

[SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/WssInterop/CreateWssSite", RequestNamespace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/WssInterop/", 
	ResponseNamespace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/project/server/webservices/WssInterop/", 
	Use = SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle = SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
public void CreateWssSite(
	Guid projectUID,
	Guid wssServerUID,
	string wssWebFullUrl,
	int webTemplateLcid,
	string webTemplateName
)

You can use CreateWssSite method of WssInterOp class where you can set the TemplateName, LCId etc but make sure to have a setting in PWA>Server settings> Project site provision settings - Allow users to manually create project sites option enabled. By this way once a  project is created, You can run the code which will create a project site with template you specify.

Hope that helps.

Hi Amit ,

Thanks for replying

I am trying to create project site as stated above

for that I need to get the guid of project

I got the following sample from some blog

private static WebSvcProject.Project project = new WebSvcProject.Project();

private void createTask_InitApproval(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    [... insert your other required task attributes ...]
    taskProps.ExtendedProperties["Project Name"] = Proj_Name[0];
    taskProps.ExtendedProperties["Project Owner"] = Proj_Owner_Name[0];
    taskProps.ExtendedProperties["ProjectUid"] = GetProjectUidFromProjectName(Proj_Name[0]);
}
public static Guid GetProjectUidFromProjectName(string projectName)
{
    Guid projectGUID;
    project.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
    WebSvcProject.ProjectDataSet readProjDs = new WebSvcProject.ProjectDataSet();
    readProjDs = project.ReadProjectStatus(
        Guid.Empty,
        WebSvcProject.DataStoreEnum.WorkingStore,
        projectName,
        0
        );
    if (readProjDs.Project.Rows.Count == 1)
    {
        projectGUID = new Guid(readProjDs.Project[0].PROJ_UID.ToString());
    }
    else
    {
        throw new Exception("No Project by the name: " + projectName + " Found");
    }
    return projectGUID;
}

Is above example works only for 2007 version?

But In my case

I am not getting the exact reference of class

I have added the reference of Project.asmx but still following object is not created in my case

private static WebSvcProject.Project project = new WebSvcProject.Project();

following is my example .what could be wrong with it?

private static ServiceReference2.ProjectSoap project = null;
             public static Guid GetProjectUidFromProjectName(string projectName)
        {
               Guid projectGUID;
          
              
                 ProjectDataSet readProjDs = new ProjectDataSet();
                 readProjDs = project.ReadProjectStatus(
                     Guid.Empty,
                    DataStoreEnum.WorkingStore,
                     projectName,
                     0
                     );
                 if (readProjDs.Project.Rows.Count == 1)
                 {
                     projectGUID = new Guid(readProjDs.Project[0].PROJ_UID.ToString());
                 }
                 else
                 {
                     throw new Exception("No Project by the name: " + projectName + " Found");
                 }
            return projectGUID;
        }
