Is there any API for powerpoint file programming in .net?

Hi, Is there any API for powerpoint file programming in .net? If using Office Interop assembly, is it necessary to install office in the system? Since i would like to implement a server for powerpoint file retrieval and do not like installing office in a server. Thanks:)

Yes, the Office PIA's require Office on the system that you're using them on. And no, it doesn't look like there's any PPT SDK for .NET. Since you're building a server for "powerpoint file retrieval", is there a reason you're not just letting people download the PPT file via HTTP or FTP?
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..." -Jörgen Sigvardsson

Hello, Of course, I would not like others downloading the powerpoint files from the server without the access right. I heard from my friend office should not be installed on a server. Is it true? That means I cannot install office on the server so I cannot use the office interop assembly? There is an alternative that I could turn a powerpoint file to an XML file. Is there any API for .net programming to do such thing? I have found a api call PowerML but it is a java library. Thanks
