If you are doing Project Server development using the PSI then you NEED to check out what Colby Africa is doing with mpFx. This is a set of class libraries that simplifies the development of PSI code. It reduces the number of calls you need to make to do things like create projects, assign resources, create tasks, etc.
This is what is required to create a project and wait for the queue job to finish:
1: namespace Microsoft.SDK.Project.Samples.QueueCreateProject
2: {
3: class Program
4: {
5: [STAThread]
6: static void Main(string[] args)

12: const string QUEUESYSTEM_SERVICE_PATH = "_vti_bin/psi/queuesystem.asmx";

Here is the same code in mpFx:
1: using System;
2: using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
3: using CodePlex.MicrosoftProject.mpFx;
4: using CodePlex.MicrosoftProject.mpFx.ProjectsWebService;
5:
6: namespace ConsoleTest
8: class Program
10: static void Main(string[] args)
11: {
12: using (ProjectServer projectServer = new ProjectServer("h//epm2007demo/pwa", DataStoreEnum.WorkingStore))
13: {
14: using (ProjectDataSet projectDataSet = EntityFactory.NewProject("Demo"))
15: {
16: try
17: {
18: projectServer.Projects.Create(projectDataSet, false, true);
19: }
20: catch (SoapException exception)
21: {
22: Console.WriteLine(Errors.ProcessMSProjectErrors(exception));
23: }
24: catch (Exception exception)
25: {
26: Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
27: }
28: }
29: }
30: }
31: }
32: }
32 lines of code as opposed to 130!
