You find packages like CsQuery[^] (Github Repo[^]), which is a C# Port of jQuery, with CSS2/3 parsers, a DOM, several utility methods, and the validator.nu HTML5 parser.
What NuGet packages have you guys found that turned out to be useful for a task you were doing? And what are your favorite packages to use?

I personally like NLog for logging.

Never heard of it before. Just looked it up. Quite cool!

I like SharpCompress[^] for compression functionality.

Wow, a c# implementation of a 7zip decompressor! That is very impressive of SharpCompress. I had a quick look at it, but it couldn't find it - does it support compressing to zip with password encryption?

Note #2 under the formats table says pkware and WinzipAES are supported. As SharpCompress supports streams, one could wrap a [de]compression stream in a CryptoStream and encrypt that way.

Thanks Brisingr.
That is very cool, it looks like I might have a new compression library to use!
Yes, one could use a CryptoSteam, but one of reasons I use Zip is that almost every computer has basic tools to access them, and embedding a encrypted file in there stops that.

Mono.AddIns is one I use a lot, along with AvalonDock and Xceed.

I use the github repo for Mono.Addins, as the NuGet package hasn't been updated for ages.

Thanks, I didn't even look if they were the same versions or not.

I usually go to the project page/source repository to check versions/bug fixes/features/etc. before using a NuGet package.

SignalR.
Nuget does get messed up when one is using it partially and referencing the same package from outside as well.
I think its got to do more with my own difference in package version numbers rather than Nuget itself.

Codezz pl0X Halp!
It's very easy actually. You just add a drop-down with all the currencies and when the user selects one, exchange it! It is called the drop-down methodology for software design and project management.

Read the information at the top of this page. And don't ask for code, no one is going to write it for you.

I finally got round to watching the DVD of the movie Prometheus. The plot seemed to have more holes in it than the proverbial sieve but it compensated by having some rather tasty totty. Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron are not the most well stacked totty but pleasant enough all the same. Theron's character Vickers offered the ship's cap'n a quickie in her quarters but there was nothing to suggest he reported aft as ordered. The lead actress (Rapace) ends up riding off into the sunset in an alien ship with the head of the android tucked safely in a bag. There was no suggestion what she might drink or eat but all alien ships must have a Coke and chocolate-dispensing machine on every level especially those made by Weyland Corporation and Ford in the US.
The Teletubbies had more solid story lines and their characters were more believable and trustworthy. One of the movie's characters who'd been slipped a Mickey Finn containing some toxic DNA seemed to be burned and shot so many times that he must have lived and died at least thrice; that he was suspected of being a serial Lazarus. Popeye was more scary and if it was a prequel to the Alien franchise, then comedy wasn't the way.
I was fortunate that the DVD was off-loaded in the shop for a fiver which was £4 more than it was worth. Yes, the totty was tasty but I can get that on t'internet for free. The special effects were good but they obviously were used to fill in the holes. If anyone wants a copy of the movie you'll find it in the recycling bin outside t'house.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I actually stopped watching it halfway.
It's worse than After Earth, if such a thing is possible.

Regrettably, plot holes bigger than the the size of the film set seem to be de rigueur for SF movies: it's hard to think of one with just small holes, rather than the grand canyons most exhibit.
I suspect it's because story outlines are written by someone who knows SF and has a good idea, and then the director (who doesn't) leads the scriptwriters (who can't) to produce the shooting script the actors ignore...
And then some bleedin' idjit hires Nicolas "Talent Free" Cage to play the lead and pull any semblance of quality out of the project.

The only movies I have seen with Nicolas Cage are National Treasure 1 & 2, both of which I enjoyed watching.

If you want to see a decent modern SF movie without plot holes, from what I can remember, then I would recommend Moon or the Spanish film TimeCrimes if you have not already seen them - they both have a very small cast.
TimeCrimes is the only time paradox movie I have seen where everything actually hangs together.

Contact (but the novel was more believable than the film).
