title: Include PowerPoint viewer into my WPF application
body: <p>I want to display my PowerPoint presentation into a WPF application.</p>
  
  <p>Requirements:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Free (except PowerPoint is already installed on the PC)</li>
  <li>Has to be integrated into my WPF application, not an external one</li>
  <li>User must have the possibility to advance to the next slide, or go back</li>
  <li>Show animations</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I tried 2 solutions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Using DSOFramer, but they recommend to not use it anymore, and it doesn't support 2010 files. It's a no go.</li>
  <li>Using Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint, but it opens the PowerPoint as an external application...</li>
  <li>Tried the tool <a href="http://www.edrawsoft.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.edrawsoft.com</a> but it cost like 3500$ the licence</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I don't know where to go with this.... Thank you.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>Few months later, the only "good" solution that I can get all what I want (with animations, sound etc..) is to embed a c++ control... if wanyone have a solution for WPF and it's managed, I would like to know. </p>
  
  <p>As for the given answer:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304662" rel="nofollow">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304662</a> : there is some problem using this with 2007 + files vs old one...</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
