This is for VS2008/Office 2007....
I have a VSTO Word Add-In which fetches tables from a database and displays
the latest data when the document is opened. In fact users can query
additional data on the fly by editing the document. We do very similar
things with Excel Add-in.
I need to make a Powerpoint - Add-in with most of the same functionality.
But it seems the Powerpoint VSTO support is kind of limited.
What are custom control object I can extend in the Powerpoint object model?
I need to make custom text boxes and drawable surfaces....
We have our own charting libraries. I need to render the data in the fly
and display them in our chart system. The chart libs are in WPF.
Can I make a Shape be one of our charts in Powerpoint? Everything I read
seem to lead making an ActiveX control but I really rather use an all managed
code solution. (VSTO...)
