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;  
    }

            SlideId copiedSlideId = sourcePresentationPart.Presentation.SlideIdList.ChildElements[copiedSlideIndex] as SlideId;  
            SlidePart copiedSlidePart = sourcePresentationPart.GetPartById(copiedSlideId.RelationshipId) as SlidePart;  

            SlidePart addedSlidePart = destPresentationPart.AddPart<SlidePart>(copiedSlidePart);  

            SlideMasterPart addedSlideMasterPart = destPresentationPart.AddPart(addedSlidePart.SlideLayoutPart.SlideMasterPart);

                Id = maxId,  
                RelationshipId = destDoc.PresentationPart.GetIdOfPart(addedSlidePart)  
            };  
            destPresentation.SlideIdList.Append(slideId);

    }  

    static void FixSlideLayoutIds(PresentationPart presPart)  
    {

        foreach (SlideMasterPart slideMasterPart in presPart.SlideMasterParts)  
        {  
            foreach (SlideLayoutId slideLayoutId in slideMasterPart.SlideMaster.SlideLayoutIdList)

                _uniqueId++;

            }  

            slideMasterPart.SlideMaster.Save();  
        }  
    }  

As soon as I copy I get this error

    @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
