.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Interop / January 2005Office interop
Hi! When developing .net applications that will use office, do you have to target a specifik office version (like office 2000) or does it work with several office versions? Example, if I create an application that uses office 2000. Will this run on a computer that only has office 2003 installed? Thanks /Johan > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > /Johan Unfortunately, you have have one project for each version of Office that you want to support. / Fredrik > Unfortunately, you have have one project for each version of Office > that you want to support. Unless you use late binding, but given that help on specific issues is scarce it can be real frustrating. Thanks for the replies! Would you recommend some thirdparty tool instead? /Johan >> Unfortunately, you have have one project for each version of Office >> that you want to support. > > Unless you use late binding, but given that help on specific issues is > scarce it can be real frustrating. > Thanks for the replies! > > Would you recommend some thirdparty tool instead? > > /Johan I don't quite understand your question. I also made an error in my previous reply. If you make a COM add-in using a.NET language, you need to create on dll for each version of Office that you want to support. This doesn't mean you need two projects. You only need one project with two solutions. What kind of application are you trying to build? Do you want to automate Office from an exe? /Fredrik Hi! I have a request from a customer to extend one of their systems with the ability to create powerpoint presentations directly. They have three different office version within the organization and I need to create a durable solution. These presentations will then act as templates that they complete manually. I've been looking a bit at Aspose PowerPoint components and also tried them out. But they seem a bit "unfinished". They do get the job done though. My question is, is there any industrystandard tools out there? Thanks /Johan >> Thanks for the replies! >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > /Fredrik > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks > /Johan Are you trying to create an exe that generates powerpoint presentations? Where does it get the data from? /Fredrik Hi! We have a complete system to manage a competition. One of many results is to create a presentation of the winners. One wish is to export this presentation directly into a powerpoint presentation that they manually can perfect. So I need a component that 1) Is officeversion independent 2) Can create powerpoint presentation programatically a) From templates (predefined pages in an existing ppt file is ok) I've already made a beta using Aspose's component, and it works just fine but the feel of the component is "uncomplete". So my question is, is there any other tools that do the same thing as aspose's component but are more industry standard, ie more used and accepted? The Aspose's component will work for now, it's not to expensive either (about $800) so it will work in this beta. /Johan >> Hi! >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Where does it get the data from? > /Fredrik > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > /Johan Thanks for the description. It seems as if you are developing some kind of gambling program. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any tool that does what you want. My only suggestion is that you try your luck at microsoft.public.office.developer.com.add_ins Maybe someone in that group knows more about programming PowerPoint. Good Luck, Fredrik Thanks for the info! Gambling program, no, but close. It's a administrative software to handle a worldwide packaging award. I'll stick to Aspose's components for now and see if I can find something more stable later on. Again, thanks for the replies! /Johan >> Hi! >> [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > Good Luck, > Fredrik Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
