<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p><a class="xref" href="C1.Zip.C1ZipFile.html">C1ZipFile</a> creates temporary streams while adding entries to a zip file.
These temporary streams can be memory-based or disk-based, depending on the size of the
entry and on the setting of the <a class="xref" href="C1.Zip.C1ZipFile.MemoryThreshold.html#C1_Zip_C1ZipFile_MemoryThreshold">MemoryThreshold</a> property.</p>
If a temporary file is used, <a class="xref" href="C1.Zip.C1ZipFile.html">C1ZipFile</a> you can control its location by 
setting the <a class="xref" href="C1.Zip.C1ZipFile.TempFileName.html#C1_Zip_C1ZipFile_TempFileName">TempFileName</a> property. If you don't select a path for the 
temporary file, <a class="xref" href="C1.Zip.C1ZipFile.html">C1ZipFile</a> will create one automatically using the 
<a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.io.path.gettempfilename">GetTempFileName()</a> method.
