I think you should give a try using Interop.

How are you creating the Powerpoint presentation? Are you using the PIA's or some other method?

OK, but what are you using to generate the the powerpoint presentation? Are you importing Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint?

yes scott iam importing that namespace i m writing in my button click event like this { int count = 0; string strTemplate = string.Empty; int shpCount = 1; //core.MsoTriState objTriState = core.MsoTriState.msoTrue; string strPPTName = @"d:\EDPresentation.pptx"; string strPPTPath = @"D:\PPT-Opty1\PPT-Opty\"; strTemplate = strPPTPath + "Presentation5.pptx"; Application objApp = new ApplicationClass(); _Presentation objPres = objApp.Presentations.Open(strTemplate, core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, core.MsoTriState.msoTrue, core.MsoTriState.msoFalse); Slides objSlides = objPres.Slides; TextRange objTextRng; for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++) { objSlides.InsertFromFile(strTemplate,count, 1, 1); _Slide objSlide = objSlides[ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count-1]; //for (shpCount = 1; shpCount <= objSlide.Shapes.Count; shpCount++) //{ Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shape objShape; // foreach (DataColumn dc in ds.Tables[0].Columns) // { // if (objSlide.Shapes[shpCount].AlternativeText.Trim().Equals(dc.ColumnName)) // { objShape = objSlide.Shapes[shpCount]; objSlide.Shapes.AddTextbox(MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 100, 100, 100, 80); objShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i][dc.ColumnName].ToString(); } objPres.SaveAs(strPPTName, PpSaveAsFileType.ppSaveAsPresentation, core.MsoTriState.msoTrue); objPres.Close(); objApp.Quit(); }
