Answer 1

Here is one free PowerPoint Viewer ActiveX Control for you to try viewing the powerpoint file (ppt, pps file) in VB.NET application.

After you download and install the powerpointviewerdemosetup.exe from above link, the ActiveX control has been registered, you will find VB.NET code sample under default installation path C:\Program Files\PowerPoint Viewer ActiveX Control\Examples\VB.Net.

The activeX control will locate at C:\Program Files\PowerPoint Viewer ActiveX Control\PowerPointViewer.ocx.

You can manually register the ActiveX control using Regsvr32.exe tool:

Add the ActiveX control to Toolbox:
Right-click Toolbox -> Choose items -> COM components -> Locate PowerPoint Viewer ActiveX Control and add it
Then you can drag&drop it onto your Form
