Powerpoint

I have two links on a page.

One goes to an excel spreadsheet and the other goes to a powerpoint.

If you click on the excel it prompts you to down load it or open it.

IF you click on the powerpoint..... it opens it in the browser.....why does
that happen?

Because the user either does not have Excel installed on his computer or
does not have "browse in same window" enabled and has "confirm open after
download" enabled for the xls extension in his file association properties,
possibly. Either that, or you're returning the xls file as an unknown file
type, but if you're just linking right to an xls file on the server, that
shouldn't be the case.

Whether xls opens in the browser or downloads for opening in Excel is a
client-side settings.

Hi, I am writing some VB.NET code that compiles to a dll. There is some code within it that manipulates Powerpoint 2003. The dll I am writing is for smart tags, and I am having trouble because sometimes Powerpoint is remaining running (powerpnt.exe in Task Manager).

Hi everyone, I'm wanting to use VB.NET to display a powerpoint presentation, much the same way as the presenter that comes with PowerPoint (when used on multiple monitors). Basically, I want to show the presentation in one form/window, and in the other, have controls for moving through the presentation, list of slides, etc. I don't really want code as such, more like a tutorial on how to do something like this.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
