Prev: how do I change the cells to view on earlier powerpoint version?
Next: Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010A (RPC_E_SERVERCALL_RETRYLATE
From: cwang on 3 Jan 2008 18:01 Hello, I am writing a program to convert a bunch of ppt files into JPEG files. Here is the description of my program: try { Application pptApp = new Application(); foreach (pptFile in pptFiles) { Presentation pres = pptApp.Presentations.Open(pptFile, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse); pres.SaveAs(folder, PpSaveAsFileType.ppSaveAsJPG, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue); pres.Close(); } catch (Exception e) { System.Console.WriteLine(e.Message); } pptApp.Quit(); After running a while, I got the error message as: The message filter indicated that the application is busy. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8001010A (RPC_E_SERVERCALL_RETRYLATER)). My qyestions are: 1. What does this mean? 2. How to solve the problem? 3. How to check if the Powerpnt application is running and get it before I call "new Applicaion"? Thanks a lot!

PPT only allows a single instance of itself. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================

See if the following link applies to your case: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246018 > 3. How to check if the Powerpnt application is running and get it before I > call "new Applicaion"? In .net, this would be through the Marshal object: System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("PowerPoint.Application") If you get an active instance, you should not call Quit() on it otherwise the other folks may end up with dangling references. - Chirag PowerShow: View multiple PowerPoint slide shows simultaneously http://officeone.mvps.org/powershow/powershow.html > > Thanks a lot! >

Norton again. I wonder if they'll ever come up with a product that causes fewer problems than it allegedly protects against? ;-) |
