If a multidimensional array (Object[,]) or a jagged array (Object[][]) contains multiple rows, PowerPointWriter will import all the rows using built-in repeating behavior. To import a single row of data using a multidimensional or jagged array, the array can only contain a single row of data. For more information about using arrays to import multiple rows of data, please see Importing Multiple Rows of Data.
Example:
One dimensional array:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
string[] values = {"Hello World", "subtitle"};
string[] colNames = {"header", "subtitle"};
DataBindingProperties DataProps = pptt.CreateDataBindingProperties();
pptt.BindData(values, colNames, "DataSource1", DataProps);
|
| Code Block |
|---|
|
Dim values = New String() {"Hello World", "subtitle"}
Dim colNames = New String() {"header", "subtitle"}
Dim DataProps As DataBindingProperites = pptt.CreateDataBindingProperties();
pptt.BindData(values, colNames, "DataSource1", DataProps);
|
Two dimensional array:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
PowerPointTemplate pptt = new PowerPointTemplate();
pptt.Open(@"C:\DataBinding\ArrayBindingTemplate.pptx");
string[][] twodim = {
new string[]{"Watertown", "MA", "02472"},
new string[]{"Washington", "DC", "20500"}
};
string[] names = {"City", "State", "Zip"};
pptt.BindData(twodim,
names,
"TwoDimArray",
pptt.CreateDataBindingProperties());
pptt.PreserveStrings = true;
pptt.Process();
pptt.Save(Page.Response,
"ArrayBinding.pptx",
false);
|
| Code Block |
|---|
|
Dim pptt As New PowerPointTemplate()
pptt.Open("C:\DataBinding\ArrayBindingTemplate.pptx")
Dim twodim()() As String = New String()() { _
New String(){"Watertown", "MA", "02472"}, _
New String(){"Washington", "DC", "20500"}, _
}
Dim names As String() = {"City", "State", "Zip"}
pptt.BindData(twodim, _
names, _
"TwoDimArray", _
pptt.CreateDataBindingProperties())
pptt.PreserveStrings = True
pptt.Process()
pptt.Save(Page.Response, _
"ArrayBinding.pptx", _
False)
