ASP.NET and PowerpointNot sure if this is the correct forum, so apologies in advance, if it's not. I have a requirement to dynamically generate a powerpoint slide via a webpage. My first thought was some knid of automation object that would be created server side and then a link provided for the user to download. However, the user wants to be able to see the chart being built up on screen, so they can see progress. So I think I'm going to have to deal with some form of ActiveX control. Could anyone point me in the direction or supply some tutorials or code snippets to example how this could be acheived in a ASP.NET webpage. TIA MattC Sounds like a weird request. Would a normal progress bar do it?
Aspose have a power point component that seems to be pretty good. Otherwise you can build the powerpoint in the background and just build some graphs with one of the libs like ChartFX. Remy Blaettler I now, weird. What I thought I might be able to do is load a powerpoint
object in a page then have code behind write out the raw data for the chat, then have a javascript onload event actually load the data into the Active X component. I did this once with a treeview control but this is slightly more....uhh...complicated. I'm having trouble finding if this is even possible??

the slides. You can connect to a server via TCP/IP or XML/HTTP to get the data. It's not easy, but it works. If done something like that for Excel. Good luck :-) Remy Blaettler http://www.collaboral.com This is the only decent way I've seen to generate PowerPoint from ASP.NET:

Steve,
This looks promising. After looking into it they are rally only interested in the charting side of things that powerpoint provides. Now I think what they are really after is embedding an MSGraph object into the page. But they want to see the chart build up infront of them as the data is loaded. Would Aspose.powerpoint handle this or would I be better trying to find an ActiveX component that will let me dynamically use MSGraph? Also I'll be working in C#. Found it really hard to find any example of how to access these components in C# and use in a webpage. TIA MattC Show quoteHide quote "Steve C.

these .net charting components? There are tons out there.

So, given that, does anyone have
any examples of displaying a powerpoint chat in an ASP.NET page where the chart's data in supplied from a datatale/dataset?
