SlideComment dto = new SlideComment()

Create an object of SlideComment class which is used to define parent as well as child comments. The child comments are added as a List instance. Therefore, one or more child comments can be added under a parent comment.

var responseStream = slidesApi.CreateComment(inputPPT,1,dto, null, null);

Finally, call the API to add a comment to the first slide of the PowerPoint presentation. After successful operation, the resultant PowerPoint is saved to the cloud storage.

Delete Slide Comments using C# .NET

The Cloud SDK also supports the feature to removes comments of the specified author from the slide. If the author information is not provided, then all the comments from a particular slide will be removed.

Use the following cURL command to remove the comments added by Author “Author Nayyer”.

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/slides/{sourcePPTX}/slides/1/comments?author=Author%20Nayyer" 
-X DELETE \
