OpenXML Presentation
In below functionality by default a slide is added to presentation.Here we are adding new slide at index 2 having some text in it.

Aspose.Slides
Each PowerPoint presentation file contains one Main Master slide and other Normal slides. It means that a presentation file contains at least one or more slides. It is important to know that presentation files without slides are not supported by Aspose.Slides for .NET. Each slide has specific position and a unique Id. The slide Id can range from 0 to 255 for master slides and from 256 to 65535 for normal slides.
Aspose.Slides for .NET allows developers to add empty slides to the presentations using the AddEmptySlide method exposed by Presentation object.To add an empty slide in the presentation, please follow the steps below:
- Create an instance of Presentation class
- Call the AddEmptySlide method exposed by Presentation object
- Do some work with the newly added empty slide
- Add another slide and insert text on it.
- Finally, write the PPT file using the Write method exposed by Presentation object
string FileName = FilePath + "Adding Slide to Presentation.pptx";
//Instantiate PresentationEx class that represents the PPT file
Presentation pres = new Presentation();
//Blank slide is added by default, when you create
//presentation from default constructor
//Adding an empty slide to the presentation and getting the reference of
//that empty slide
ISlide slide = pres.Slides.AddEmptySlide(pres.LayoutSlides[0]);
//Write the output to disk
pres.Save(FileName,Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pptx);
