Convert/View PowerPoint file into/in Silverlight
powerpoint, silverlight
Solution
There are a few options available, none of them "great".
pptx2silverlight on CodePlex
- Pros: Freely available code
- Cons: Simplistic player, no animation/audio/video, conversion of slides to PNGs
Convexion by ElectricRain
- Pros: Converts most animations/transitions
- Cons: No audio/video support, converts shapes to PNGs (not XAML), creates "loose XAML" instead of compiled code
Powerlight by Conaito
- Pros: Cheapest commercial solution, more customizable player
- Cons: no animation/audio/video, conversion of slides to PNGs
Problem
I have a game of jeopardy that I made in PowerPoint and I was wondering if I could have a Silverlight application read the ppt file. Or is there a way to convert a .ppt file to a Silverlight readable format?
