Hello,
I installed the latest trail version of aspose.ppt for reporting services 2008. I'm able to export the SSRS report to .ppt now and it works very fine!
What I want to do now is to create the .ppt files with a defined master layout/ design template / or slide master (I am not sure about the name). The created slides are with white background, by default. But I didnt want it!
How can I change the layout? The information about the master side/layout should be passed automatically while the .ppt creation, I think. Is it possible to define this in the report server config.file:
< SlideMaster?>
.....
How can I manage this? Any help is appreciated.
Hi Funda,
Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.
I regret to share that exporting report to defined slide layout is not available in Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services. It actually renders the reports as they are. In order to change the layout of the slide, I may suggest you to use Aspose.Slides for .NET with the generated presentation to change the layout. But setting layout slide for Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services is not available.
Thanks and Regards,
Hello Mudassir,
Thank you for your response.
If I choose the render extension .ppt from the export dropdown list in SSRS. -> the report will converted to .ppt directly -> and a popup window to save … appears.
The changing of the layout should happen before this save popup window comes up. How can I use the Aspose.slides for .Net in my case? How it works in conjunction with Reporting services? Do you have an example?
Hello Dear,
I am afraid Aspose.Slides for .NET can be used to change the master slide layout after the presentation has been generated and saved. Once the presentation is saved, you will access the generated presentation and source template presentation using Aspose.Slides for .NET and then clone (copy) slide from template presentation in to generate presentation. After cloning you will then change the masters layout of the slides in the generated presentation with that of copied slide from template presentation. You can then also delete the cloned slide as well and save the presentation. Please follow this thread link for the code snippet, how to change/apply new slide master to presentation.
Thanks and Regards,
