Required info abt powerpoint interop assembly

13-Nov-06 21:48

Given the tons of info on the web about how to do this, a number of different ways, if you can't find info to at least try to do this on the web, then you need to think about your career choice.

I recommend trying to google the question.

Hi
I am assigned a project to control already designed powerpoint presentations in my program. the scenario is that i have to show the slidewhow in a windows form alongwith other controls. i found some examples on the net but they are very basic and i wasnt able to find any example which shows me the demo on how to bind powerpoint slideshow to a window or to a form.

if someone can help me to go through with this or provide me the detail documentation of the assembly properties n classes then i would be very much thankful to him/her.

Could any one help me with OLAP Data Provider? I try to get the Connectionstring from MS ADO Data Control but i am getting the error
"Provider is no longer available. Ensure that the provider is installed properly"

Actually i was using MS SQL Server 2000 Analysis Service to create a Cube. Upon completion, on browsing the data from the cube nothing was shown.

any help will be appreciated.

Button View Status

I am currently doing a button to view my staus of actions. What should i code to retrieve data from my DB to show the current status of my action. Be it Done or Pending?? And how can i retrieve and show it to the user the detail of the action, which means extract the whole row from my DB?

The code you need depends entirely on your database. The bits that are central, are documented widely on the web. Do you mean done or pending in terms of a DB operation, or in terms of your business rules ?

i am using access database. i dun really quite understand wat u mean?

The internet abounds with info on how to connect to Access. I'm sure you've already done this, otherwise you wouldn't be 'using access'

Therefore the question is, what do you mean by 'done' or 'pending' ? Do you want to show if a DB action is complete ? The best way to do that is probably to do the DB action in a thread, and show it as pending until the thread signals that it is done.

May i know how to do a thread? My 'done' and 'pending' is to let the user know if the action is ongoing on already been done. i need to retrieve tt out and show it to the user. Is using messagebox. show the only choice?

OF course not, you can set up your UI any way you like.

If you're not doing the operation in a thread, the question is meaningless, your UI will not respond until the operation ends anyhow. And if your UI didn't start the operation, what I'm suggesting will not work.

oh ok.. the question is how to do a thread? and wat should i do to enable my user to see the status?

You've not defined what you mean by status ? If you mean the status of a database operation, just show it on a label.
