We have an online slide library system that works fine except that every once in a while we find a presentation that utterly and completely brings everything to a crashing halt (CPU pegged out, can barely do anything for minutes, eventually shut down and restart). We cant determine the error using try, catch because the code cannot be debugged beyond this line
’ save out jpeg of slide
pres.GetSlideByPosition(slidecounter).GetThumbnail(sz).Save(fname, Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
We are merely rending out jpegs, with size predefined using
Dim sz As Size
sz.Height = 385
sz.Width = 512
Slidecounter is just that, and the file name is a full path to a folder that allows files to be written. Given that the above happens on a VS 2005 Development system (Windows XP) in debug mode, permissions really arent an issue).
Can someone take a look at the attached file and let me know why it dies right on slide #1 which seems to be an utterly simple, barely any graphics, slide? Many thanks in advance.
Most probably you use old version of Aspose.Slides which can’t work with presentations created in PP2007.
Last version (even several last versions) can render this ppt without any problems.
Frequent shut downs and restarts usually mean hardware problems.
