Exporting a grid crashes (for me) in latest version 5.0.12

[miszelek]

After upgrading to 5.0.12 (from 5.0.11) exporting a grid fails with the following error:

[2024-05-30T13:21:44.621Z] Error: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source')
   at System.Linq.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentNullException(ExceptionArgument argument)
   at System.Linq.Enumerable.Where[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source, Func`2 predicate)
   at GridBlazor.ExcelCell.RemoveInvalidXmlChars(String content)
   at GridBlazor.ExcelCell.set_Content(String value)
   at GridBlazor.ExcelCell..ctor(String value, Type type)

   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ComponentBase.CallStateHasChangedOnAsyncCompletion(Task task)
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.RenderTree.Renderer.GetErrorHandledTask(Task taskToHandle, ComponentState owningComponentState)

To Reproduce
I am trying to make a small repro which shows the issue, but did not succeed yet.
But my project has this issue in version 5.0.12, but export works normally in 5.0.11 and below.

Looking into the GridBlazor code changes for 5.0.12 I wonder if the change (RemoveAndInvalidXmlChars) takes into account when the given string is null.
Calling LINQ Where() on a null value also provides an exception.

Expected behavior
Exporting a grid should result in a Excel file (and not an exception).

Possible Fix
Adding a conditional null operator (?) on content variable prevents this.

private string RemoveInvalidXmlChars(string content)
{
  return new string(content?.Where(ch => System.Xml.XmlConvert.IsXmlChar(ch)).ToArray());
}

Desktop:

• OS: Windows
• Browser [Chrome]
• Version [5.0.12]

I've published a new package version with your modification

Thanks for the quick fix!
Updated to the new package and Export is working again.

Btw, I love GridBlazor, keep up the good work!
