C1ZStreamWriter Class

In This Topic

Compresses data into .NET Streams.

Object Model

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Class C1ZStreamWriter 
   Inherits System.IO.Stream

public class C1ZStreamWriter : System.IO.Stream

Remarks

To compress data into a stream, create a C1ZStreamWriter object passing the stream to the C1ZStreamWriter constructor.

Then write the data into the C1ZStreamWriter using the Write method, or create a System.IO.StreamWriter on the C1ZStreamWriter. The second option is indicated when you want to write formatted data.

When you are done writing the data, call the Dispose(Boolean) method to flush the data and close the underlying stream.

Example

The code below compresses a string into a memory stream:

public byte[] CompressString(string str)
{
	// open memory stream
	var ms = new MemoryStream();
	
	// attach compressor stream to memory stream
	var sw = new C1ZStreamWriter(ms);
	
	// write data into compressor stream
	var writer = new StreamWriter(sw);
	writer.Write(str);
	
	// flush any pending data
	writer.Flush();
	
	// return the memory buffer
	return ms.ToArray();
}
