Welcome to BizArk, version 3!
The BizArk project was started in the mid 2000's as a private library of useful functionality for line-of-business applications. In 2009, the project was made public on CodePlex in order to share the code as-is with the world. BizArk was released for the first time as a compiled package via NuGet in 2011.
The project has changed quite a bit since it was first started. The earliest versions included quite a bit more functionality than the current version, but much of it became obsolete as new features were released in .Net and C#. The library continues to evolve to simplify developing line-of-business applications.
Version 3 of BizArk is perhaps the largest update to the project since it was originally published. Several features have been removed completely (such as the WebHelper) due to improvements in .Net and C# and, in some cases, better libraries being made available.
Version 3 also broke apart the core library and the command-line parser into separate projects. This was done to make it easier to maintain the parser and to allow using the core library without needing to include the parser.
All of the documentation for BizArk is here in the GitHub wiki. A reasonable attempt has been made to make the documentation reasonably complete. If you have found a mistake or have found the documentation lacking some important details, please feel free to edit the documentation or create an issue.
If you find an issue in the libraries, please create an issue. This project is an all-volunteer effort, so there isn't any guarantee how long it will take to fix. Perhaps the quickest way to resolve a problem is to submit a pull request. At the very least, if you can submit a unit test that exposes the problem, that will definitely help in getting it resolved quickly.
