not sure you are correct in your first point about it loading the entire workbook as a datasetYes, you're right. I got into it a little deeper, and found that you can pick a worksheet individually by looping on NextResult() until you find the one(s) you're looking for. As long as there weren't any dependencies in your code between the results from different worksheets, this would work fine.
move the project to GithubWell, having figured out how to use this for my purposes, I'm feeling a little less ambitious, but I would like to pay some dues for the use of the project. I too am crazy busy, but I have to make this work for my own purposes anyway, so I'll be able to devote time to it. I've never contributed to an open source project before, so any advice/guidance appreciated. Likewise I haven't used Github, so if you could take the lead in setting that up, or provide me with guidance (not how to use it but any rules/protocols/patterns), that would be helpful. Speaking of which, one thing I'm a little concerned about is the version discrepancy between NuGet (2.1.2.3) and CodePlex (2.1.2.0). Where are those changes getting checked in?
I'll follow up with some detailed change proposals, with the goal being to change as little as possible at first while still getting the functionality that seems needed to me. At this point I think worksheet random access (setter for Name?) and reading named ranges would be my first suggestions.
Thanks!
