After reviewing the demos, documentation, and some blog entries; I have a few questions.
First, from doing a search for your site, I found a blog entry that stated the Northwind example had been packaged for download; but the link is broken! Does this mean one is no longer able to download this example?
Second, in the very basic view of the code from the online demos, I see this example outputs to a PPT file, Office 2003 or earlier. Has it ever been considered to enhance this example to produce a PPTX presentation? Or both?
I know from experience that creating a presentation in 2007 and saving as 2003; that a 100% conversion does not take place. So there are differences in the 2 versions. Also from reviewing the forum posts, I have seen from the replies that there are indeed coding changes between the two.
Third, the PptBrowser example that is installed with the product, when I run it and click the ‘Get as Ppt’ button, the presentation that opens has an extra blank slide at the beginning; why? Of course; I do have Office 2007 installed, could that be the problem here?
Also I saw from some other forum questions, that were not answered (to me) satisfactorily about trying to determine when and how to create an extra slide to contain form data than would not fit on single slide. From what I have seen of ALL the examples in either the download or install of Aspose.Slides or the web site of what would be considered real world examples that would include something like this.
But I really have to say that is a complaint against all software companies in the world. It’s just that one would think that for a company that has such a high cost for just one tool what actually have better examples of using their tool.
So I’m asking for any help available of taking a lot of data from a SQL Server 2005 database and be able to output that (which is currently being done to Word in a different tool) to both 2003 and 2007 presentations! This data includes both large text blocks and table data.
