The code has not changed yet for .NET7. I may add some new features when I get finished with the port. I am just using rc1 because .NET7 is still in preview.

DataJuggler.Excelerate

Excelerate has been updated for .NET9. Use an 8.x version for .NET8, a 7.x version for .NET7. Excelerate will change how you work with C# and Excel. Excelerate uses NPOI and it makes it easy to load Workbooks or Worksheets. Excelerate now has a code generation feature, you can create a C# class from a header row. Excelerate also has helper classes to allow you load and save entire workbooks or worksheets without ever having referring to a cell. Use my free site https://excelerate.datajuggler.com to code generate C# classes from Excel header rows. ExcelDataLoader will load a workbook by passing in a path or a Worksheet by passing in a a WorksheetInfo object to specify what to load. Background I have a couple of clients that I built programs that automate Excel processes. This project streamlines Excel development.
DataJuggler.Blazor.FileUpload

BlazorFileUpload makes it easy to upload files in Blazor projects. The 8.0 version is only for .NET8. Use 7.x version for .NET7, 6.x for .NET6. All new features / bug fixes are for .NET8 version onward. BlazorFileUpload now supports multiple file uploads!
DataJuggler.Cryptography

This version is for .NET9 and is a port of the Dot Net Core version of CryptographyHelper from my Dot Net Framework project DataJuggler.Core.UltimateHelper. The code is available here: https://github.com/DataJuggler/DataJuggler.Cryptography This project adds many Nuget dependencies to use Konscious.Security.Cryptography in a Dot Net Core project, so I choose to create a separate project rather than include it in the Dot Net Core version of UltimateHelper, DataJuggler.Net.UltimateHelper.Core. To view the documentation, visit: https://github.com/DataJuggler/DataJuggler.Cryptography/blob/master/README.md

10.19.2022: First release for .NET 7. The only reason this version has a -rc is so it doesn't show up
in Nuget package feeds until .NET 7 is released next month.

5.4.2022
Version 6.0.5: Last and final override for NullHelper.IsNull and Exists methods.

5.3.2022
Version 6.0.4: I added a couple of overrides for IsNull and Exists methods for NullHelper.cs

Version 6.0.0: This version is for 6.0.

Version 1.7.1: I updated Nuget Packages for this release, and System.Configuration was updated recently, so I
updated.

Version 1.7.0: I updated the package to multi-target .Net5.0 and .Net6.0

Version 1.6.9: Boolean Helper Upgrade described below had some flaws. Hopefully fixed now.

Version 1.6.8 - After 11 years, BooleanHelper got an upgrade.

Version 1.6.7 - I added a couple of read only properties for IsComment, IsPartialComment, PartialCommentText, PartialCommentCode.

Version 1.6.6 - I added a GetWordsAsStrings, because sometimes you just need a list of strings.

Version 1.6.5 - After years of writing this, I found a safer way of getting the FileNameWithoutExtension. My previous method failed if a fileName passed in doesn't have an extension.

Version 1.6.4 - I added a new method FileHelper.Exists. System.IO.File.Exists will return true if you pass in an empty string. My version will return true only if the string exists and the File exists on disk.

Version 1.6.3 - I updated FileHelper.CreateFileNameWithPartialGuid method to have a couple of optional
parameters to set whether includeExtension is true or fileNameOnly.

Version 1.6.2 - I changed FileHelper.CreateFileNameWithPartialGuid method, to have an optional parameter to return the fileName only.

Version 1.6.1 - I realized my method FileHelper.CreateFileNameWithPartialGuid had a hard coded number of
characters (bad enough) but also had .png extension hard coded. I am guilty of a specific use method here, sorry.
It did work for .png's I tested.

Version 1.6.0 - I removed SQLParameterHelper, which had a dependency on System.Data.SQLClient.
I moved SQLParameterHelper to its own project DataJuggler.UltimateHelper.SQL
I also added another override for the CheckInRange and the EnsureInRange to NumericHelper, where
you can now pass in a list of integers, doubles or decimals to work with sets of numbers.

Version 1.5.12 - I added a new method IsInRange to NumericHelper.

Version 1.5.11 - I added a new method EnsureInRange to NumericHelper.

Version 1.5.8 - I added a couple of methods to DateHelper to get the month names and GetDateShortText

Version 1.5.7 - Oops. I forgot to make the new ExportTextLines static.

Version 1.5.6 - I did two things. One I got rid of WordParser, even though it breaks many of my own apps.
TextHelper has the exact two methods for GetTextLines and GetWords.
The other thing I added was a new method called ExportTextLines, to make it easy to reassemble a List of
TextLines back into a File or block.

Version 1.5.5 - I had been working on a method in the Word Parser, and I had to make a change to parse some text that didn't end in new line characters. I fixed and checked it right back in, so hopefully
no one downloaded this package in the last 5 minutes.

Version 1.5.4 - Remove the code that create the symbols package, as someone updated the project with
it and I didn't ask for it and it didn't work to allow you to step through the code.

Download the code from Git Hub if you need to debug.

Version 1.5.3 - I am trying to be somewhat consistent, and the 5 stand for .Net 5.

Version 1.5.1 - I am trying to be somewhat consistent, and the 5 stand for .Net 5.

Version 1.3.1 - I realized I had forgotten to drop the .Core.

The new namespace is just DataJuggler.UltimateHelper (no .Net or .Core Yay!).

Version 1.5.3 - Brought over EnumHelper from .Net Framework version now that I am converting DB Compare
to .Net 5, I needed this.

Version 1.5.0 - .Net 5 Port.

Version 1.3.0 - Converted to .Net 5.0 and dropped the .Core name.

Version 1.2.6 - Not sure if a publish was needed for this, but the project file now has Source Link enabled, so source stepping should be possible.

Version 1.2.5 - I changed NumericHelper.IsNumeric to include 3 new optional parameters.
bool RemoveDash, true by default. - numbers are removed for this test.
double defaultValue, -2,000,000 default value.
double errorValue, -2,000,001 default value.

If the number parses to greater than, it is numeric.
My old way didn't work for negative numbers, and I need them now.

Version 1.2.4 - I added a 5th parameter override to NullHelper.Exists and NullHelper.IsNull

Version 1.2.3 - I accidently had LastIndexOf instead of Index of when I created a new file name in CreateFileNameWithPartialGuid method.

Version 1.2.2 - I added a new method to FileHelper, CreateFileName with PartialGuid.

Version 1.2.1
I brought over WordParser.cs.

Version 1.2.0 This is my first attempt at Multi-Targeting so this application is availaable to .Net Core 3.1 and .Net Standard 2.1.
