We like to share the release announcement for Aspose.Slides for .NET 17.2.0. We have some new features in this release along with resolution issues incurring in API.
Compare Two Slides in Presentation using C#
The following code sample shows how to compare slides in a PowerPoint presentation.
| // The path to the documents directory. | |
| string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_Slides_Presentations_Layout(); | |
| using (Presentation presentation1 = new Presentation(daraDir + "AccessSlides.pptx")) | |
| using (Presentation presentation2 = new Presentation(dataDir + "HelloWorld.pptx")) | |
| { | |
| for (int i = 0; i < presentation1.Masters.Count; i++) | |
| { | |
| for (int j = 0; j < presentation2.Masters.Count; j++) | |
| { | |
| if (presentation1.Masters[i].Equals(presentation2.Masters[j])) | |
| Console.WriteLine(string.Format("SomePresentation1 MasterSlide#{0} is equal to SomePresentation2 MasterSlide#{1}", i, j)); | |
| } | |
| } | |
| } |

Identify Merged Tables in PowerPoint PPT/PPTX using C#
We have also included the support for identifying merged cells inside the table as well.
| // The path to the documents directory. | |
| string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_Tables(); | |
| using (Presentation pres = new Presentation(dataDir + "SomePresentationWithTable.pptx")) | |
| { | |
| ITable table = pres.Slides[0].Shapes[0] as ITable; // assuming that Slide#0.Shape#0 is a table | |
| for (int i = 0; i < table.Rows.Count; i++) | |
| { | |
| for (int j = 0; j < table.Columns.Count; j++) | |
| { | |
| ICell currentCell = table.Rows[i][j]; | |
| if (currentCell.IsMergedCell) | |
| { | |
| Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Cell {0};{1} is a part of merged cell with RowSpan={2} and ColSpan={3} starting from Cell {4};{5}.", | |
| i, j, currentCell.RowSpan, currentCell.ColSpan, currentCell.FirstRowIndex, currentCell.FirstColumnIndex)); | |
| } | |
| } | |
| } | |
| } | |

Resolved Issues
We have rectified the issues related to charts and Ole frame data failing to get opened in edit mode inside PowerPoint for generated presentation. The issues related to URL formatting and tooltip text inside hyperlinks has also been addressed in this release. We have also addressed issues related to improper text rendering including bolding effects, improper color and improper gradient effects.
We have resolved the issues related to presentation access and saving which earlier resulted in exceptions including ArgumentException, NullReferenceException, and PptxReadException in previous releases. We have improved the presentation rendering support in this release and have resolved certain issues related to missing or improper text rendering, missing images, missing charts, and its entities in generated PDF, HTML, and slide thumbnails outputs.
We have made several enhancements to the new API. Please refer to Aspose.Slides for .NET 17.2.0 Release Notes for further reference.
