Is the IPortionFormat.AsIHyperlinkContainer Property No Longer Public Anymore (Starting with Aspose.Slides for .NET 23.6)?

The code

ITextFrame[] textBoxesForThisSlide = Aspose.Slides.Util.SlideUtil.GetAllTextBoxes(slide);
if (textBoxesForThisSlide != null && textBoxesForThisSlide.Length > 0)
{
    foreach (var textBox in textBoxesForThisSlide)
    {
        foreach (var paragraph in textBox.Paragraphs)
        {
            foreach (var portion in paragraph.Portions)
            {
                if (portion.PortionFormat.AsIHyperlinkContainer.HyperlinkClick != null)

does not compile anymore, starting with the release 23.6.0.

The error

Error CS1061 ‘IPortionFormat’ does not contain a definition for ‘AsIHyperlinkContainer’ and no accessible extension method ‘AsIHyperlinkContainer’ accepting a first argument of type ‘IPortionFormat’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

is shown in Visual Studio.

@uruf,

The API is there in the latest version of Aspose.Slides for .NET, see the API Reference page.

Could you please create a sample project, zip it and provide us to reproduce the issue on our end. We will check your issue soon.

Here a non-functional .Net-project. It stops compiling when I add Aspose.Slides version 23.6.0 or higher.

@uruf,
The AsIHyperlinkContainer property is only needed for COM compatibility. The IPortionFormat extends the IHyperlinkContainer interface, so you can write as follows:

if (portion.PortionFormat.HyperlinkClick != null)
{
    // ...
}
