Presentation (Power Point) cloning a slide throws an error

[Paul Abramov]

Hey,

so I have a slide with a table which I want to clone.

Using this code:

ISlide cloned = presentation.Slides[4].Clone();

I always get the following error:

at Syncfusion.Presentation.TableImplementation.Cells.SetParent(Table newParent)
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.TableImplementation.Columns.SetParent(Table table)
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.TableImplementation.Table.Clone()
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.Drawing.Shapes.CloneList()
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.Drawing.Shapes.Clone()
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.SlideImplementation.BaseSlide.Clone(BaseSlide newParent)
   at Syncfusion.Presentation.SlideImplementation.Slide.Clone()

Is there a way to fix this on my side?

Hi Paul,

We suspect that the problem might be due to the contents in the input PowerPoint presentation which used at your end. So, could you please provide us the below details to reproduce the problem in our end.

1. Input PowerPoint presentation.
2. Modified sample with complete code example.
3. Product version

Thereby we will analyze further and provide you the appropriate solution at the earliest.

Thank you for your fast answer!

I've found the issue. So i was working with the documentation here:

https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/presentation/working-with-powerpoint-presentation

So as it described, I cloned the presentation to prevent changes on the source file. While doing this I could not clone any slide with a table. I've also tested this with the template you have sent me, it threw the same error.
I removed the part where I cloned the source file and just worked with the source file. Now I am able to clone all slides as it should be.

Just letting you know this. Thank you very much for the fast answer and the awesome support! Love your way to attach files, so I am able to check my files/project against yours, helps a lot and fast!
