Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Define Your Document Directory

First, specify the directory where your presentation files are located.

string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";

Replace "Your Document Directory" with the actual path to your presentation file.

Step 2: Load the Source Presentation File

Instantiate the Presentation class to load the source presentation file.

using (Presentation pres = new Presentation(dataDir + "ChangePosition.pptx"))

Here, you are loading your presentation file named "ChangePosition.pptx".

Step 3: Get the Slide to Be Moved

Identify the slide within the presentation whose position you want to change.

ISlide sld = pres.Slides[0];

In this example, we are accessing the first slide (index 0) from the presentation. You can change the index according to your needs.

Step 4: Set the New Position

Specify the new position for the slide using the SlideNumber property.

sld.SlideNumber = 2;

In this step, we are moving the slide to the second position (index 2). Adjust the value as per your requirements.

Step 5: Save the Presentation

Save the modified presentation to your specified directory.

pres.Save(dataDir + "Aspose_out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

This code will save the presentation with the adjusted slide position as “Aspose_out.pptx.”

With these steps completed, you have successfully adjusted the slide position within your presentation using Aspose.Slides for .NET.
