Web Payments is an emerging web standard being developed by the W3C to simplify online payments and enable a broader set of players to participate easily in the payments ecosystem on the web. The standards are flexible; they work with various types of payment systems and are intended to work on any browser on any device, payment method, or payment service provider. This flexibility enables development simplicity, deployment consistency, and future compatibility with emerging payment technologies. 

Here’s a quick list of what’s new in TypeScript 5.2!

The toolkit contains various controls (labesl, text entry, buttons, radio buttons, checkboxes, dialog boxes, windows, menus) for building text user interfaces, a main loop, is designed to work on Curses and the Windows Console, works well on both color and monochrome terminals and has mouse support on terminal emulators that support it.  

dynamic excel = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Excel.Application", true));

 System.__ComObject does not contain a definition for 'Visible'
