WPF and PowerPoint

[Mr. Magic]

Can WPF play a PowerPoint presentation natively? I want to be able to load a
PPT file without having PowerPoint on the machine. This is running on a
Kiosk so I need it to not require any customer interaction.

TIA - Jeff.

No. There are no native PowerPoint bits in WPF. But, if you are creating a
WPF application, the form is a container and there is no reason you can
bundle in some lightweight player so you can play the PPT.

Greg,
Thanks for the info. I came to the same conclusion.

Any suggestions on a lightweight player?

I need something that will not require PowerPoint on the client machine.

TIA - Jeff.
