IShape.SetHyperlink does not support indexes to link slide

[Ayaz Ali]

IShape.SetHyperlink does not support indexes to link the specific slide by index but as per documentation it can be set by indexes. 

I believe there is some issue in IShape.SetHyperlink method because there is no overload method given for indexes.

Code snippet is given below which may help to understand the issue.

I need to create hyperlink for first slide.

I believe issue is with index 0. can you try running below code and see if link works for first slide.

        IPresentation presDoc = Syncfusion.Presentation.Presentation.Create();

        ISlide slide1 = presDoc.Slides.Add(SlideLayoutType.Blank);

        ISlide slide2 = presDoc.Slides.Add();

        ISlide slide3 = presDoc.Slides.Add();

        ISlide slide4 = presDoc.Slides.Add();

        IShape shape = slide3.Shapes.AddShape(AutoShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 20, 200, 100);

        //Set the slide index as hyperlink

        shape.SetHyperlink("0");

        //Save the presentation to the file system

        presDoc.Save("Output.pptx", FormatType.Pptx, Response);

        //Close the presentation
