Read PptSaveResult

The following example shows you how to read the PptSaveResult returned by SaveAsPpt to check whether the export to the legacy binary PowerPoint format was lossless and, if not, which parts of the presentation could not be represented.

C# example

using System;
using Independentsoft.Office.Presentation;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Presentation presentation = new Presentation("c:\\test\\input.pptx");

            PptSaveResult result = presentation.SaveAsPpt("c:\\test\\output.ppt", true);

            Console.WriteLine("Lossless: " + result.IsLossless);
            Console.WriteLine("Shapes skipped: " + result.ShapesSkipped);
            Console.WriteLine("Slides emptied: " + result.SlidesEmptied);
            Console.WriteLine("Pictures skipped: " + result.PicturesSkipped);
            Console.WriteLine("Charts dropped: " + result.ChartsDropped);
            Console.WriteLine("OLE objects dropped: " + result.OleObjectsDropped);
            Console.WriteLine("Notes dropped: " + result.NotesDropped);
            Console.WriteLine("Formatting dropped: " + result.FormattingDropped);
            Console.WriteLine("Hyperlinks dropped: " + result.HyperlinksDropped);

            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports Independentsoft.Office.Presentation

Module Module1
    Sub Main(ByVal args As String())

        Dim presentation As New Presentation("c:\test\input.pptx")

        Dim result As PptSaveResult = presentation.SaveAsPpt("c:\test\output.ppt", True)

        Console.WriteLine("Lossless: " & result.IsLossless)
        Console.WriteLine("Shapes skipped: " & result.ShapesSkipped)
        Console.WriteLine("Slides emptied: " & result.SlidesEmptied)
        Console.WriteLine("Pictures skipped: " & result.PicturesSkipped)
        Console.WriteLine("Charts dropped: " & result.ChartsDropped)
        Console.WriteLine("OLE objects dropped: " & result.OleObjectsDropped)
        Console.WriteLine("Notes dropped: " & result.NotesDropped)
        Console.WriteLine("Formatting dropped: " & result.FormattingDropped)
        Console.WriteLine("Hyperlinks dropped: " & result.HyperlinksDropped)

        Console.Read()

    End Sub
End Module
