How to Access the Presentation Properties in C#

This small topic focuses on how to access the Presentation properties in C# by following the information to configure the environment and step-by-step runnable sample code. The code example to read PPTX document properties in C# is very simple and can be used in any of the .NET supported applications running either in Windows, Linux or macOS.

Steps to Read PPTX Document Properties in C#

  1. Set up the environment to add Aspose.Slides for .NET to read the presentation properties

By adhering to the above steps in C# Presentation document properties can be accessed and manipulated using the simple API interface. The process commences by accessing the presentation information from presentation factory using a static PresentationFactory class and you don’t really need to load the presentation inside the DOM during this process. Then, by using the instance of IDocumentProperties the properties are accessed and displayed inside the console. However, you can read or write the accessed document properties as per your requirements.
