PowerPointTemplate.Save(System.Web.HttpResponse, String, Boolean)

Description

Streams the PowerPointTemplate to the client. This method allows you to specify a default client-side file name, and whether the file should be opened in the browser window or in Microsoft PowerPoint

Parameters

response

An HttpResponse to write the resulting PowerPoint file to.

attachmentName

Specifies a name for the generated Excel file; this name will be displayed in the download dialog when the file is streamed to the browser.

openInBrowser

If openInBrowser is set to true, and the user chooses to open the file, the file will open in the browser window. If openInBrowser is set to false, and the user chooses to open the file, the file will open in Microsoft Excel. By default, the file will open in the browser window.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

Save will throw this exception if it does not have a PowerPoint document handle (Save cannot be called before Open).

Remarks

You can call Save more than once for a single instance of PowerPointTemplate. This allows you to save more than one copy of a generated file, and/or both save the file on the server and stream it to the client.

Examples

Stream to the client and open in PowerPoint

When you pass an HttpResponse object to Save, PowerPointWriter will stream the generated PowerPoint file to the client. The browser will display a File Download dialog asking the user to open or save the file. The method's second parameter specifies a file name to display in the File Download dialog. If the method's third parameter - openInBrowser - is false and the user chooses to open the Excel file, the file will open in Microsoft PowerPoint.
