Master Slides Are Not Equal after Being Inserted into a Presentation as Clones in C#

Hi there

I’m facing a strange issue that does not make sense to me.

When I clone a MasterSlide from one presentation to another the Equals method does not recognize them as being the same:

using (Presentation presentationSlideMain = new Presentation(prensetationPath))
{
    using (Presentation presentationSlide2 = new Presentation(slide2Path))
    {
        var test2 = presentationSlideMain.Masters[0].Equals(presentationSlide2.Masters[0]); // return false
        presentationSlideMain.Masters.InsertClone(0, presentationSlide2.Masters[0]);
        var test3 = presentationSlideMain.Masters[0].Equals(presentationSlide2.Masters[0]); // return false as well
    }
}

Can there be a good reason for this? Maybe something with the presentation document properties or similar?

@ahthomsen,
Thank you for your question.

Please check your results using the latest version of Aspose.Slides if it is possible. The Equals method should compare slides by content. If the issue persists, please share the following data and information:

  • presentation files
  • OS version where the code was executed
  • .NET target platform in your app
  • Aspose.Slides version you used
