Creating a Table on PowerPoint Slide in VSTO and Aspose.Slides

The following steps add a table to a Microsoft PowerPoint slide using VSTO:

• Create a presentation.
• Add an empty slide is added to the presentation.
• Add a 15 x 15 table to the slide.
• Add text to each cell of the table with a font size of 10.
• Save the presentation to disk.

VSTO

 //Create a presentation

PowerPoint.Presentation pres = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application

			  .Presentations.Add(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);

//Add a blank slide

PowerPoint.Slide sld = pres.Slides.Add(1, PowerPoint.PpSlideLayout.ppLayoutBlank);

//Add a 15 x 15 table

PowerPoint.Shape shp = sld.Shapes.AddTable(15, 15, 10, 10, pres.PageSetup.SlideWidth - 20, 300);

PowerPoint.Table tbl = shp.Table;

int i = -1;

int j = -1;

//Loop through all the rows

foreach (PowerPoint.Row row in tbl.Rows)

{

	i = i + 1;

	j = -1;

	//Loop through all the cells in the row

	foreach (PowerPoint.Cell cell in row.Cells)

	{

		j = j + 1;

		//Get text frame of each cell

		PowerPoint.TextFrame tf = cell.Shape.TextFrame;

		//Add some text

		tf.TextRange.Text = "T" + i.ToString() + j.ToString();

		//Set font size of the text as 10

		tf.TextRange.Paragraphs(0, tf.TextRange.Text.Length).Font.Size = 10;

	}

}

//Save the presentation to disk

pres.SaveAs("tblVSTO.ppt",

	  PowerPoint.PpSaveAsFileType.ppSaveAsPresentation,

	  Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);

The following steps add a table to a Microsoft PowerPoint slide using Aspose.Slides:

• Create a presentation.
• Add a 15 x 15 table to the first slide.
• Add text to each cell of the table with a font size of 10.
• Write the presentation to disk.

Aspose.Slides

 //Create a presentation

Presentation pres = new Presentation();

//Access first slide

Slide sld = pres.GetSlideByPosition(1);

//Add a table

Aspose.Slides.Table tbl = sld.Shapes.AddTable(50, 50, pres.SlideSize.Width - 100, pres.SlideSize.Height - 100, 15, 15);

//Loop through rows

for (int i = 0; i < tbl.RowsNumber; i++)

	//Loop through cells

	for (int j = 0; j < tbl.ColumnsNumber; j++)

	{

		//Get text frame of each cell

		TextFrame tf = tbl.GetCell(j, i).TextFrame;

		//Add some text

		tf.Text = "T" + i.ToString() + j.ToString();

		//Set font size of 10

		tf.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0].FontHeight = 10;

		tf.Paragraphs[0].HasBullet = false;

	}

//Write the presentation to the disk

pres.Write("tblSLD.ppt");
