@asgd,

I have observed your inquiries and will respond to them individually.

In new API, the slides are always in order in SlideCollection. So whatever the index of slide is in SlideCollection, it represent the position. Please visit this documentation article for your reference.

Please visit this documentation article for finding shapes inside slide.

Please visit this documentation article for adding picture inside slide.

Please visit this documentation link for more about OleObjectFrames in slides.

Please use following sample code for setting OleObjectFrame image, where oof is OleObjectFrame object.

oof.SubstitutePictureFormat.Picture.Image = pres.Images.AddImage((System.Drawing.Image)imgChart);

There are autoshapes in new API and rectangle is one type. Please visit this documentation link for your kind reference.

Please visit this documentation link for adding and accessing TextFrame inside slide.

In new API, we have IShape interface for Shape class. So, every Slide.Shapes[index] return IShape object and you can typecast that to Shape. Please visit this documentation link for your kind reference.

I hope the shared information will be helpful. Please share, if I may help you further in this regard.

@kiranreddy0228,

There have been some mistakes in setting the Ole frame position and also the logic of removing extra slides has issues. Please try using the modified sample project for your convenience.
