156#, 456#, 156#, 30#).Select
ActiveWindow.Se lection.ShapeRa nge.Line.EndArr owheadStyle =
msoArrowheadTri angle
ActiveWindow.Se lection.SlideRa nge.Shapes.AddC onnector(msoCon nectorElbow,
234#, 84#, 192#, 60#).Select
With ActiveWindow.Se lection.ShapeRa nge
.Line.BeginArro wheadStyle = msoArrowheadTri angle
.Line.EndArrowh eadStyle = msoArrowheadTri angle

Yaar,

This doesnt seem to be a VB6.0 code, but VBA. If you have the code that
accesses powerpoint objects from a VB 6.0 Application, on going through the
code you may find that an instance of the powerpoint application has been
made as the first step.I think you have to follow the same approach once
again in VB.Net or C#. Add a reference to the powerpoint object library.
Create an instance of the powerpoint application object and then whichever
object that you need as per your requirement. The sample VBA code you have
given here is one which may work, but with slight modifications since this
has been written to run from within the powerpoint applicaiton as far as i
could find. The MSDN is a gr8 help in this regard, friend. :)

regards
