Description

Remarks

A data marker specifies which database column, variable, or array to insert into the presentation where the data marker exists.

The PowerPointTemplate object is in the SoftArtisans.PowerPointWriter namespace. The object can be referenced as SoftArtisans.PowerPointWriter.PowerPointTemplate. To minimize typing and errors, use an Import directive to import the namespace to the aspx page, and reference the object as PowerPointTemplate, without the namespace prefix.
