PP2007 SDK? PP2010 new stuff?
in [Powerpoint]

From: Hillbilly on 25 Jan 2010 15:20 As a C# developer I want to get started developing with PP2007 noting I have no Office dev experience at the moment. Which SDK do I need to get? The Office Developer Center [1] does not list an SDK for PP2007. Other getting started tips would be very helpful. The first thing I would want to learn is how to get on the Ribbon. For anybody that has worked with the Office 2010 bits is there anything new for PP worth talking about? I'm interested in developing a "slideshow" SaaS and our biggest hurdle seems to be the proprietary file format with no support in the framework as I understand the circumstances.

This is the new file format. It's essentially a lot of XML and other support files packaged up inside a ZIP archive. Save a file, tack .ZIP onto the filename and doubleclick it for a look inside. ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/

Am I correct then to conclude if we want to develop an app that will run PPT slideshows from a web application or integrated with a Silverlight app our code will have to parse OpenXML files for playback?

That'll depend at least on what you mean by running slide shows. If you want PowerPoint to run the show, you'd want to automate Powerpoint itself (which MS doesn't recommend doing at the server end). I'm not sure what parsing the XML would get you, unless you intend to invent your own wheel (a program that duplicates some or all of PPT's functionality). If you just need to display a series of images of PPT slides but don't need to capture animations, you could automate PPT to export slides to images, then do whatever you like with those (embed them in HTML you generate, for example). It might be worth looking into one of the better F l a sh converters like Articulate. Pardon the weird spacing in the F word, but it might save you a barrage of replies from overeager spammers with questionable products to flog. > > "Steve Rindsberg" <abuse(a)localhost.com> wrote in message > news:VA.0000569f.8d6a1f58(a)localhost.com... > > In article <uq1kKvfnKHA.5312(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl>, Hillbilly wrote: > >> As a C# developer I want to get started developing with PP2007 noting I > >> have > >> no Office dev experience at the moment.
