Creating New Presentations from Slide Masters Using OpenXML (Revisited)

Here’s an update to a prior post, Creating New Presentations from Slide Masters Using OpenXML, about creating new presentation slides from the slide master.  A reader commented about an error with layouts that had images in them and it came to my attention that my code completely ignored the images.  Here’s an update:

private static void InsertSlide(PresentationPart pPart, string layoutName, UInt32 slideId)

        {

            Slide slide = new Slide(new CommonSlideData(new ShapeTree()));

            SlidePart sPart = pPart.AddNewPart<SlidePart>();

            slide.Save(sPart);

            SlideMasterPart smPart = pPart.SlideMasterParts.First();

            SlideLayoutPart slPart = smPart.SlideLayoutParts.Single(kaark => kaark.SlideLayout.CommonSlideData.Name == layoutName);

            //Add the layout part to the new slide from the slide master

            sPart.AddPart<SlideLayoutPart>(slPart);

            sPart.Slide.CommonSlideData = (CommonSlideData)smPart.SlideLayoutParts.Single(kaark => kaark.SlideLayout.CommonSlideData.Name == layoutName).SlideLayout.CommonSlideData.Clone();

            using (Stream stream = slPart.GetStream())

            {

                sPart.SlideLayoutPart.FeedData(stream);

            }

            //UPDATED: Copy the images from the slide master layout to the new slide

            foreach (ImagePart iPart in slPart.ImageParts)

            {

                ImagePart newImagePart = sPart.AddImagePart(iPart.ContentType, slPart.GetIdOfPart(iPart));

                newImagePart.FeedData(iPart.GetStream());

            }

            SlideId newSlideId = pPart.Presentation.SlideIdList.AppendChild<SlideId>(new SlideId());

            newSlideId.Id = slideId;

            newSlideId.RelationshipId = pPart.GetIdOfPart(sPart);

        }

After feeding the slide layout part data into the new slide’s layout part, the code then adds the new image parts to the slide from the slide master layout.
