The PowerPoint framework is a feature rich .NET PowerPoint class library that can be used by developers to create, read, and write Microsoft PowerPoint files by using C#, VB.NET, and managed C++ code. The library can be used in Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, UWP, Xamarin, WinUI and .NET MAUI applications.
