            //Loop through the shapes in the slide
            for(int i = 0; i< slide.Shapes.Count;i++)
            {
                IShape shape = slide.Shapes[i];
                //Detect if the shape is a grouped shape
                if (shape is GroupShape)
                {
                    GroupShape groupShape = shape as GroupShape;
                    //Ungroup the grouped shape
                    slide.Ungroup(groupShape);
                }

                Dim shape As IShape = slide.Shapes(i)

                If TypeOf shape Is GroupShape Then
                    Dim groupShape As GroupShape = TryCast(shape, GroupShape)
                    slide.Ungroup(groupShape)
                End If
