How to embed XLS files within PPT in an ASP.NET apppresentation on an IIS server. I’ll be using VB.NET. I’ve tried using an ASPOSE.PowerPoint control to do this and it does partially work. The problem is that when I embed the XLS files PowerPoint is not running and has no way of capturing the XLS image and embedding it into the PPT. When the user opens the PPT they are presented with hundreds of “Object Changed†messages in red text. They must double-click on each so PowerPoint can get an image of the XLS to embed within the PPT. I have developed a macro which will automate the clicking process but PowerPoint does not support autorun macros (without installing an add-in which the client does not want) and the client is insistent that this can be done on the server and they should not have to run the macro. This led to me creating a VB.NET application to open the PPT and run the macro. I can call it from the command prompt, pass in a PPT file name and it opens the PPT and runs the macro. When I try running the exe from my web site I get a JIT error. I’ve presented this to the forum but have no resolution. So I’m now I’m looking for other ways of embedding the XLS files within the PPT. Thanks so much. Hi Snicks,
Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup. From your description, you're using ASP.NET to build a web application which will publish some Power Point document to client users. The Power Point documents will contain some excel document embeded in it, however, you found the ppt no longer work (at clientside) if there has xls doc embeded , yes? Based on my experience, for Office application (word, excel, powerpoint...) processing, it is not quite recommended in asp.net web application since Office application are designed as clientside desktop program which can not afford large number of concurrent requests. Also, asp.net web application is a serverside non-UI service which can not display anything directly to client, all the page content need to be rendered to clientside browser(the same for office documents). Generally, we'll have to use rich client components such as activex controls to display them in web page, or use clientside scripts to automate word application ... of course, both of the two require our activex control or web page be granted sufficient permissions... In addition, as for the PPT document not work correctly when embed some xls objects, I think we can try testing it in a normal winform application. If the problem remains, I think it is likely a office specific issue and I'd suggest you try posting in some office development newsgroups also since there may have office expertes there who have some experience on this...
