2. Getting Started with Aspose.Slides for .NET

Before we begin, make sure you have Aspose.Slides for .NET installed. You can download it from here. Once installed, you’re ready to start.

3. Setting Up Your Environment

To get started, create a new project in your preferred development environment. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access your document and output directories.

In your source code, you’ll need to specify the location of your PowerPoint presentation. Replace "Your Document Directory" with the path to your presentation file.

string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
string outPath = "Your Output Directory";

// Instantiate a Presentation object that represents a presentation file
using (Presentation presentation = new Presentation(dataDir + "Convert_HTML.pptx"))

ResponsiveHtmlController controller = new ResponsiveHtmlController();
HtmlOptions htmlOptions = new HtmlOptions { HtmlFormatter = HtmlFormatter.CreateCustomFormatter(controller) };
