Hello,
Currently we are in the process of upgrading our product that is using Aspose Sides for report generation using PowerPoint 2003 to PowerPoint 2007 format using the new Aspose.Slides.Pptx API.
There has been a lot of changes in the new API compared to the previous one, but still we were able to rewrite most of our code keeping the existing functionality using Extension Methods. but some of the basic features like streaming a shape, Add, Delete Columns are missing in this new API.
And the major problem we are facing is because of the AddRow() method (in pptx (AddClone()) to insert rows. we use it extensively in our products. but in pptx the add Clone method is not working and it seems to be a known bug but still it has been released to public. i have reported regarding it
here.
and the workaround given by Mudasser using InsertClone() wouldn't work for us because we use merged cells etc. so when i try to do that workaround we get the message "It would break merged cells". now this has been a major show stopper for us. and also as i noted even if the AddClone() method would have worked it would have failed because internally it uses the InsertClone method().
Now before i go ahead and request for priority support i would like to know if i go for it, will get these implemented for me as a hotfix or something to get the same feature as Slides.Table.AddRow() method. which adds a row to end of collection copying its previous row. if so how long would it take approximately for a feedback.
