Getting a repair error when copy slide from one presentation to another using open xml sdk

Question

Hi i am using this particular code to copy slide from one presentation to another but I am getting an error that ppt goes in repair mode.

static uint _uniqueId;

    static uint GetMaxIdFromChild(SlideMasterIdList slideMasterIdList)  
    {  
        // Slide master identifiers have a minimum value of greater than  
        // or equal to 2147483648.   
        uint max = 2147483648;  

        if (slideMasterIdList != null)  
            // Get the maximum id value from the current set of children.  
            foreach (SlideMasterId child in  
              slideMasterIdList.Elements<SlideMasterId>())  
            {  
                uint id = child.Id;  

                if (id > max)  
                    max = id;  
            }  

        return max;  
    }  

    static uint GetMaxIdFromChild(SlideIdList slideMasterIdList)  
    {  
        // Slide master identifiers have a minimum value of greater than  
        // or equal to 2147483648.   
        uint max = 2147483648;  

        if (slideMasterIdList != null)  
            // Get the maximum id value from the current set of children.  
            foreach (SlideId child in  
              slideMasterIdList.Elements<SlideId>())  
            {  
                uint id = child.Id;  

                if (id > max)  
                    max = id;  
            }  

        return max;  
    }

            // change slide layout ID

            destDoc.PresentationPart.Presentation.Save();  
            destDoc.Close();  
            sourceDoc.Close();  
        }  
        //sourcePresentationStream.Close();  
        // destPresentationStream.Close();  
    }  

    static void FixSlideLayoutIds(PresentationPart presPart)  
    {  
        // Make sure that all slide layouts have unique ids.  
        foreach (SlideMasterPart slideMasterPart in presPart.SlideMasterParts)  
        {  
            foreach (SlideLayoutId slideLayoutId in slideMasterPart.SlideMaster.SlideLayoutIdList)  
            {  
                _uniqueId++;  
                slideLayoutId.Id = (uint)_uniqueId;  
            }  

            slideMasterPart.SlideMaster.Save();  
        }  
    }  

As soon as I copy I get this error

Please can anyone help me in resolving this.

Answer 2

@Swapnil Sharma , based on my test, I reproduced the same error with you. And based on my further research, I find it is hard for me to solve the issue.

However, I find an alternative simple way to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint to copy a slide from one presentation to another.

First, Please try to install nuget-package Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.

Second, Please try the following code to do it.

using PowerPoint = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint;  
  
namespace ConsoleApp1  
{  
    class Program  
    {  
        static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            PowerPoint.Application app = new PowerPoint.Application();  
            PowerPoint.Presentation p1= app.Presentations.Open("D:\\1.pptx",WithWindow:MsoTriState.msoFalse);  
            PowerPoint.Presentation p2 = app.Presentations.Open("D:\\3.pptx", WithWindow: MsoTriState.msoFalse);  
            PowerPoint.Slide s = p1.Slides[2];  
            s.Copy();  
            p2.Slides.Paste();  
            p2.Save();  
            p1.Close();  
            p2.Close();  
  
  
        }  
    }  
}  

Best Regards,

Jack
