3) i have to generate line chart in same slide from my data stored in datatable.

i am looking for this kind of output. here i am sharing a screen shot.

here i will share my code what i have done so far.

    pptNS.ApplicationClass powerpointApplication = null;
    pptNS.Presentation pptPresentation = null;
    pptNS.Slide pptSlide = null;
    pptNS.ShapeRange shapeRange = null;
    pptNS.Shape oShape = null;

    xlNS.ApplicationClass excelApplication = null;

    string paramPresentationPath = @"D:\test\Chart Slide.pptx";
    string paramWorkbookPath = @"D:\test\NPS.xlsx";

    try
    {
        // Create an instance of PowerPoint.
        powerpointApplication = new pptNS.ApplicationClass();

        // Create an instance Excel.          
        excelApplication = new xlNS.ApplicationClass();

        // Open the Excel workbook containing the worksheet with the chart
        // data.
        excelWorkBook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(paramWorkbookPath,
                        paramMissing, paramMissing, paramMissing,
                        paramMissing, paramMissing, paramMissing,
                        paramMissing, paramMissing, paramMissing,
                        paramMissing, paramMissing, paramMissing,
                        paramMissing, paramMissing);

        // Get the worksheet that contains the chart.
        targetSheet =
            (xlNS.Worksheet)(excelWorkBook.Worksheets["Spain"]);

        // Get the ChartObjects collection for the sheet.
        chartObjects =
            (xlNS.ChartObjects)(targetSheet.ChartObjects(paramMissing));

        // capture range

        GC.Collect();
        GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

    }
}

1) the problem is i do not know how could i add my own text at top center of the slide programmatically?

2) this way i added a table to slide with my data. here is the code

        List<Tuple<string, string>> cellData = ConvertToStringArray(myvalues);

        int iRows = cellData.Count;
        int iColumns = 2;
        int row = 1;

        oShape = pptSlide.Shapes.AddTable(iRows, iColumns, 500, 110, 160, 120);

        foreach (Tuple<string, string> item in cellData)
        {
            string strdate = item.Item1;
            string strValue = item.Item2;

            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 1).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = strdate;
            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 1).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Name = "Verdana";
            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 1).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 8;
            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 1).Shape.Fill.BackColor.RGB = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0).ToArgb(); 
            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 1).Shape.Fill.Visible = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue;

            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 2).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = (strValue.StartsWith("0") ?  "0%" : (strValue + "0%"));
            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 2).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Name = "Verdana";
            oShape.Table.Cell(row, 2).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 8;


            row++;
        }

        oShape.Top = 10;
        oShape.Left =10;

3) now i have to add line chart to my slide with data stored in data table but i do not know how to add line chart to my slide.

so please some one help me to complete my coding.

thanks

Answer 1

You're looking to add shapes to the slides. I see where you create shapes but they are never added. Below are a few questions previously asked about adding charts and titles. Hope it helps and best of luck.
