Hi

I'm looking for a .NET commercial component that would allow me to create/edit ppt files, especially to handle emedded
graphs - so far without a result. Do you whether such a component exists?

TIA

Simon

Microsoft make a product called PowerPoint that handles PPT files.
It's automation features can be used from .NET. ;-)

There is a company that creates a lot of those types of components. I
haven't used their powerpoint one yet, but a couple of the others that
I've used are really good. Go to http://www.aspose.com

Yes, I'm already familiar with Office automation but - as far as I know - each computer my program runs on would need to
have Office installed (or am I wrong?) - while I need to develop an application that is independent on it. However, the
biggest pain (as for me) with the Interop classes is that I couldn't find any decent documentation and API itself isn't
very intuitive - if you know of any useful howtos or tutorials on how to manipulate ppt files by using Office automation
I would appreciate some info.

I'm already familiar with aspose (you're right - they make good software) - but their powerpoint component doesn't
allow to insert/maniupulate graph objects into a presentation - one can only generate a graph by using e.g. Aspose.Graph,
and insert it into a ppt as an image.

After discovering that and unsuccesfuly searching for a week for some other components I decided to ask at newsgroups if such exist at
all (turns out it doesn't):(.
