Code Example: Manage Slide

using IronPPT; using IronPPT.Models; var document = new PresentationDocument(); document.AddSlide(); document.AddSlide(); // Remove slide document.Slides[0].Remove(); // Move slide by changing the Index property. document.Slides[0].Index = 1; // Hide slide document.Slides[0].Show = false; document.Save("manageSlide.pptx");

Imports IronPPT Imports IronPPT.Models Private document = New PresentationDocument() document.AddSlide() document.AddSlide() ' Remove slide document.Slides(0).Remove() ' Move slide by changing the Index property. document.Slides(0).Index = 1 ' Hide slide document.Slides(0).Show = False document.Save("manageSlide.pptx")

Manage Slide

When it comes to working with PowerPoint programmatically, the straightforward process of managing slides within IronPPT empowers developers to streamline efficiency and automate tasks on a large scale. With a single command, you can remove slides, change slide numbers, and hide slides, giving you complete control over their placement and appearance.

document.AddSlide();

document.Save("manageSlide.pptx");

Code Explanation

First, we instantiate a new PresentationDocument. Then, to add a slide, we call AddSlide to add an empty slide.

The PresentationDocument has a property named Slides which is just a list of slides currently in the object and can be accessed and used as an array. As such, removing a slide is simple; all we have to do is locate the index of the slide and call the Remove method to remove it. It's important to note that the index for arrays starts at 0, not 1. Therefore, the first slide is located at index 0. Incorrect usage of the index can lead to array out of bounds errors, so it's crucial to use the correct index when working with slides.

Similarly, we can change the order of the slides by changing the index. In the example above, we move the position of the first slide to the second position by reassigning the index from 0 to 1.

Finally, to hide a slide, we first access the slide by providing an index to the Slides property and set the Show property to false. The 'Show' property controls whether the slide is visible or not. Setting it to false hides the slide from view.
