Cant modify data in charts

I am evaluating Aspose.Total and keep getting the following errors:

I keep getting the following 2 errors which prevent me from even compiling.

Error ‘object’ does not contain a definition for ‘Worksheets’ and no extension method ‘Worksheets’
and
Error Cannot implicitly convert type ‘object’ to ‘Aspose.Cells.Workbook’. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

I have bolded and italicised the source lines below.
I am using VS2008
Please


Here is my code

Hi Maria,

Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

Please change following two lines of code with the code lines mention in bold.

Aspose.Cells.Cell cell = ch.ChartData.Workbook.Worksheets[0].Cells[5, 1];
Workbook Wb = ch.ChartData.Workbook;

Aspose.Cells.Cell cell = ((Aspose.Cells.Workbook)ch.ChartData.Workbook).Worksheets[0].Cells[5, 1];
Workbook Wb = (Aspose.Cells.Workbook)ch.ChartData.Workbook;

We apologize for your inconvenience.

When I make the changes you suggested I now get the error below during runtime for this line of code

Aspose.Cells.Cell cell = ((Aspose.Cells.Workbook)ch.ChartData.Workbook).Worksheets[0].Cells[5, 1];

Hi Maria,

Please use the latest version of Aspose.Cells for .NET 6.0.0 and Aspose.Slides for .NET 5.2.0 in your application. Please share your presentation file for investigation purpose.

Thanks.

I have a problem editing the data too, but from PowerPoint.

Hi Kostas,


Can you please share that which version of Aspose.Slides and Aspose.Cells you have used for your investigation. Please share the sample application along with source presentation with us and I will investigate it further on my end. Please also share the PowerPoint version that you have used to reproduce the issue. Please also share that which slide has the Ole frame that you are having issue with so that I may verify that on my end.

Many Thanks,
