Hi,
Again we are having trouble releasing our products due to issues with Aspose.
below is the scenario, the same presentation generates fine in our single threaded client environment. but the batch generation which uses multi threading fails for the report and crashes and stop the batch generation .
we used debug dias 1.2 and found out that the issue was caused by the following stack:

And then we debugged the service using visual studio “Attach process” option with the code, and found out that the exception is thrown when we call TableEx.Height method for a table. this is really frustrating to have such issues, its almost more than an year we are trying to release PPTX version of our product and every time we are struggling because of some Aspose issue. really appreciate a properly tested product.
i have attached the debug dias report, the direct inner exception details, and the template in the attachment for your reference.
Thanks,
Aneef
Hi Aneef,
Please accept my apologies for the caused inconvenience. We have always tried our best to serve your issue well. I have observed the issue that you are getting table height issue equals to null in thread environment but in order to reproduce the issue on our end please share the source project code. This way our development team will be able to quickly assess the situation.
We are sorry for your inconvenience,
Mudassir,
sorry for responding late on this. but if you see, we have been working on various simulators to reproduce errors we have got. and spending alot of time in creating them without concentrating on our actual development work. to reproduce this we have to almost write the same window service and prepare the sample data which might take sometime, with having the other issues.
but appreciate if your devs can look in to the code and see if there are any threading issues because the exception throws exactly when we try to get the table.Height property. we are happy to share a remote session if you are willing to so we can recreate and show you the error. also i think the attached logs gives alot of information too.
Thanks,
Aneef
Hi Aneef,
I agree with your point of view but at the same time you see when you provide all the necessary information it is easy for us to focus on your issue and developer can easily work over that and can produce results earlier. I may kindly request you to provide us with all necessary information to reproduce the data as because without that it will be hard for developer to reproduce the same on our end. I regret to share that unfortunately, we may not cater the online access to your system and visualize the issue.
We are sorry for your inconvenience,
