    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?

      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.

          I personally like NLog for logging.

            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.

                  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?

                    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.

                      Here[^] 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.
