Powerpoint 2007

I have written a program in VB.NET that connects to Powerpoint. The below
code works when connected to PowerPoint 2000, XP (2002) and 2003, but does
not work in 2007. To test this, I have removed all references to older
versions of PowerPoint ie 9, 10 and 11, and added a reference to Powerpoint
2007 to force VB to use the version 12 object model. I have stepped through
the VB.NET code and have confirmed that the Presentation Object I am using is
version 12.

The code is:

Shp2 = Sld.Shapes.AddTable(1, iColumns, iLEFT, siTop, Sld.Master.Width -
(iLEFT * 2), 380)


With Shp2.Line
.ForeColor.RGB = gCOLOR_BLUE_DARK
.Weight = 0
End With

The Sld object is declared as a Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Slide
The Shp2 object is declared as a Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shape

The Sld object has been set to an instance of one of my slides in the
current presentation. The AddTable command works fine.

It errors
All I am trying to do is change the Line colour of a table that I have
created.

When checking the RGB property in the watch window it says:

<error: an exception of type: {System.ArgumentException} occurred>

Does anyone have any ideas on how to change the Line Colour of a table (ie
the border colour of the Table)

Thanks for any help in advance.
 
If the project is VS.NET 2003 or older, please zip it up and email it to
me. You can get my email from my website.

Hi Peter B,
I'm having the exact same problem.
Did you find a solution?

Thank you.

I'm guessing that the answer is "Wait for the next release."

I can confirm what you're seeing if I do the same thing in VBA w/in PowerPoint.
In fact, attempting to change nearly any of the .Line properties spits back an
error.
 
Thanks Kathy!
I like it a lot too! :)

Sorry, but none of your jokes about ON can compete with one made by a
German MVP :P I posted in the German MVP group that I was now an MVP and
wrote (in German): I am now a new MVP (OneNote).
A German MVP asked me whether MVP's where assigned grades now, because I
had written "without grade" in parenthesis after MVP. To help with the
joke: "ohne Note" in German means "without grade"...
