Accomplished: WPF in PPT slides

8/22/2007

For a long time Ive been wanting VSTO to extend its document support to PPT. But knowing that very few people at all customize PPT at all, I know the demand is strong, but very few actually want it. Its taken a bit of code, but using VSTO and VS 2008 (prob works with 2005 too) I now have WPF able to be embedded into PPT slides.

Its not perfect, but it works amazingly well and you can even directly debug your WPF code. I still have some things to clean up but Im planning on using it for over a dozen presso's at 4 events in September.


Its not just XAML rendering, but code too. Basically you define a user control, add whatever code you want and the using a custom task pane you can associate it wtih a slide. You need my VSTO add in plus your assembly to run of course.

Coming to CodePlex soon....
