I don't understand what you mean by "screen updating"?

Hi Bob,
in excel you have an application.screenupdating
this is different in other office apps and in powerpoint, not sure what it is in this case but if you build a slide dynamically in code then having the repainting going on could disturb the viewers,
the only way i can think of preventing this without the code above is using a sort of templates that are shown depending on the track through the presentation, but there could be a more simple way

I wasn't sure about that, so I didn't want to say anything until I was sure.
Here is the reference that I have:
PowerPoint VBA Equivalent of Application.ScreenUpdating

I haven't taken the time, nor had any requirement to figure it out for .NET.
