Binding Data
PowerPointTemplate has a single method for binding data to the data markers that are located in the template: PowerPointTemplate.BindData. Depending on the data source type and the number of rows in the data source, PowerPointWriter will either import a single row of data or import multiple rows by repeating sections of the presentation.
By default, every appearance of a data marker will be populated with the same data. For example, if %%=Header.CompanyLogo(image)
...
appears
...
on
...
multiple
...
slides,
...
each
...
data
...
marker
...
will
...
be
...
populated
...
with
...
the
...
company
...
logo.
...
This
...
behavior
...
can
...
be
...
overwritten
...
using
...
...
