Aspose.Slides for .NET offers powerful features for adding and removing hyperlinks in your presentation slides. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of hyperlink manipulation using Aspose.Slides for .NET. We will cover adding hyperlinks to a slide and removing hyperlinks from a slide. So, let’s dive in!

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

  1. Aspose.Slides for .NET: You must have the Aspose.Slides for .NET library installed and set up. You can find the documentation here and download it from this link.

  2. Your Document Directory: You need a directory where you will store your presentation files. Make sure to specify the path to this directory in your code.

  3. Basic Knowledge of C#: This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of C# programming.

Now that you have your prerequisites in place, let’s move on to the step-by-step guide for hyperlink manipulation using Aspose.Slides for .NET.

Step 1: Initialize Presentation

To get started, you need to initialize a presentation using Aspose.Slides. You can do this with the following code:

using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation())
{
    // Your code here
}

Step 2: Add Text Frame

Now, let’s add a text frame to a slide. This code creates a rectangular shape with text:

IAutoShape shape1 = presentation.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 100, 600, 50, false);
shape1.AddTextFrame("Aspose: File Format APIs");

Next, you’ll add a hyperlink to the text in the shape you created. Here’s how you can do it:

shape1.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0].PortionFormat.HyperlinkClick = new Hyperlink("https://www.aspose.com/");
shape1.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0].PortionFormat.HyperlinkClick.Tooltip = "More than 70% Fortune 100 companies trust Aspose APIs";
shape1.TextFrame.Paragraphs[0].Portions[0].PortionFormat.FontHeight = 32;

Step 4: Save Presentation

Finally, save your presentation with the added hyperlink:

presentation.Save("presentation-out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added a hyperlink to a slide using Aspose.Slides for .NET.

Step 1: Initialize Presentation

To remove hyperlinks from a slide, you need to open an existing presentation:

string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
Presentation presentation = new Presentation(dataDir + "Hyperlink.pptx");

Now, remove all hyperlinks from the presentation using the following code:

presentation.HyperlinkQueries.RemoveAllHyperlinks();

Step 3: Save Presentation

After removing the hyperlinks, save the presentation:

presentation.Save(dataDir + "RemovedHyperlink_out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

And that’s it! You’ve successfully removed hyperlinks from a slide using Aspose.Slides for .NET.
