That depends on what you want to show. If you want to show a simple static slide (with no movement at all), then you could take a screen shot of the slide and show that in a picture box.

If you want to show an active slide or slide show, then you have to embed PowerPoint into your application, just like Excel or Word, and use it to show the slides.

i don't know VBA, but in VB.NET, you use Integer.Parse() or CInt()

VBA supports most of VBScript's built-in functions.

In this case I think you want CInt()

looking for this...

intValue = val(stringValue)
this val will not only convert string into integer but also covers the exceptions like the string is blank then it will make it 0.

You might want to read your own post to see what it actually looks like.
Next time, check the box labeled "Do not treat <'s as HTML tags" if your going to post XML data.

OK. What do you my parse? I'm assuming you want to pull the values out of the tags. Take a look at this[^] article by Pratik Desai for some ideas.

Create a ProcessStartInfo object and configure it with the executable name, any command line parameters, etc. Then start the process using a Process object.

Dim si As New ProcessStartInfo
'COnfigure si properties to define process to run
Dim p As Process = Process.Start(si)

For starters ->

If ddlClothTapeColors.Visible = True Then - can't happen, you just set it to false

So, ddlBlindRemote will ALWAYS be visible.

I suspect that when something is invisible, it's not rendered, which means your view state is lost as well.
