How to programatically select a item in list using c#?

How can I create a PowerPoint slide deck from a sharepoint list, where each list item is used to make one slide, using a template?

  • We have data in a sharepoint list, which we want to have in a presentable, "carry-on" and visually appealing form, utilizing power point or pdf. Ideally we could define a template with some placeholders, and have some form of script just copy the content over. Is that possible with sharepoint/powerpoint? Can you point me towards further info on how to do this? (sample scripts or blog posts on the web that may help me adapt that to my problem)?

  • Answer:

    It is a question for PowerPoint programmers Sharepoint can be interacted with as if it was a database.

You can use Cloudmatica PowerPoint Generator to accomplish this. The way this works is that you define a slide template with placeholders - such as {{FieldName}}. Then you provide a tabular dataset where the field names match the placeholders. You can copy and paste from Excel, Sharepoint, Google Sheets or any other tabular data set.The slide generation itself happens on the cloud. There is no software to install, and the results are emailed to you, usually in under 1 minute.Link:https://cloudmatica.com/PowerpointGenerator/Hope you find this helpful.

PPTMerge can do this via an Excel or CSV export of the SharePoint list.http://www.pptools.com/merge/index.html
