Programmatically creating a ppt from a Reporting Server 2008 report

Aspose.Slides Product Family
1

Hi,

Can anyone post some sample code, or link me to an existing example which shows how to programmatically take an existing Reporting Services 2008 report and create a PPT file from it using Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services?

What I'm trying to do is use Report Builder 2.0 to create a report, then save this to a SharePoint document library (the library has an event handler on it which detects when an item is added) and then create a ppt from the saved file.

Thanks

Brian

Dear Brian,

Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services cannot be used as a standalone component. By standalone, I mean, it needs Reporting Services Engine for running.

You should find some workaround using Aspose.Slides for .NET which is a standalone component.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Can you point me to any examples where this is done using aspose.slides for .net? (I'm using Reporting Services 2008).

Dear Brain,

Sorry there was some confusion, please ignore my previous post.

Let me clarify you the purpose of both products.
With SQL Reporting Services, you can export your Reports (RDL files) in different formats like
1- XML
2- CSV
3- TIFF
4- PDF

When you install Aspose.Slides for Reporting Services, you get two additional export format options as shown in this screenshot
1- PPT – PowerPoint Presentation via Aspose.Slides
2- PPS – PowerPoint Presentation via Aspose.Slides

I think, it is what you needed.

On the other hand, Aspose.Slides for .NET is used to create new PPT documents or manipulate the existing PPT documents using C# or VB.NET
