Hello, This is Adeel! Well i'm a software developer here in Pakistan working

ARROW-CONNECTOR SHAPE using Microsoft PowerPoint Object through Code. I'm
generating a Dynamic Presentation from my Application. Looking forward

Actually i do have a Code for VB6 that generates it but i am unable to find
it in .NET coz these COM component are wrapped when accessed from .NET its
hard to find search these Object in it.

Sample Code
---------------

ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddConnector(msoConnectorStraight,
156#, 456#, 156#, 30#).Select
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Line.EndArrowheadStyle =
msoArrowheadTriangle
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddConnector(msoConnectorElbow,
234#, 84#, 192#, 60#).Select
With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange
.Line.BeginArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadTriangle
.Line.EndArrowheadStyle = msoArrowheadTriangle
End With

VB.NET so plzzz help me out.... or u can reply me at (e-mail address removed)

Yaar,

This doesnt seem to be a VB6.0 code, but VBA. If you have the code that
accesses powerpoint objects from a VB 6.0 Application, on going through the
code you may find that an instance of the powerpoint application has been
made as the first step.I think you have to follow the same approach once
again in VB.Net or C#. Add a reference to the powerpoint object library.
Create an instance of the powerpoint application object and then whichever
object that you need as per your requirement. The sample VBA code you have
given here is one which may work, but with slight modifications since this
has been written to run from within the powerpoint applicaiton as far as i
could find. The MSDN is a gr8 help in this regard, friend.
