I have made a user control using c#.net and made the control as COM
interop along with COM visible true. It built & registered by
"regasm" successfully. My control is visible in power point 2010 under
"More Controls" option
and can able to add it in slide. The problem is after embedding the
control in slide (in design time) a red color "X" sign display inside
the control instead of the actual visual appearance of user control. but
when i start slide show, the User Control
display its own interface (GUI) and when i stop slide show again the
interface disappear & display red "X" sign. How do i correct this
problem??
Office Version: Office 2010

Operating System:Windows XP
Visual Studio : 2008

By your given link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2553061) I cannot find the Hotfix download link from "Hotfix Download Available" although Microsoft has published the article. Can you please provide me the download url. Waiting for your reply.

Hello,
I might be wrong about the way I'm following for implementing & fixing my "RED X" issue, I got some samples "All-In-One Code Framework (COM)" for "CSActiveX" from ( http://1code.codeplex.com ). But the same problem persists with their sample code. I think there might another way for fixing this "RED X" issue.
Thanks

I am guessing you faced a registration issue as you might not be in administrator group. Please check if you have activex dll created out of compilation. You can manually register using regasm and start using in powerpoint.

Attached a sample project to reproduce the problem.
You can build the project with VS 2008 and load the activex control in powerpoint 2010 to see the issue.

Thanks for your reply. You are correct but How do i fix this problem?? In my User Control I just put a single Button Control nothing else.
Need to know what type of exception occurred during initialization. This User Control works fine in previous version of PowerPoint (2007/2003/XP/2000) but this is happening only with PowerPoint 2010.
Please find the Attachment.
