Reading a Zipped File Using a StreamReader

In This Topic

To read a zipped file using a StreamReader, add the following code. First make sure to add these Imports (Visual Basic)/using (C#) statements at the top of the code:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Imports C1.C1Zip and Imports System.IO

C#	Copy Code
using C1.C1Zip; and using System.IO

Then add the following code:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
' Open a zip file. Dim zip As New C1ZipFile() zip.Open("c:\temp\myzipfile.zip") ' Open an input stream on any entry. Dim ze As C1ZipEntry = zip.Entries("someFile.cs") Dim s As Stream = ze.OpenReader() ' Open the StreamReader on the stream. Dim sr As New StreamReader(s) ' Use the StreamReader, then close it.

Visual Basic

Copy Code

' Open a zip file.
Dim zip As New C1ZipFile()
zip.Open("c:\temp\myzipfile.zip")
' Open an input stream on any entry.
Dim ze As C1ZipEntry = zip.Entries("someFile.cs")
Dim s As Stream = ze.OpenReader()
' Open the StreamReader on the stream.
Dim sr As New StreamReader(s)
' Use the StreamReader, then close it.

C#	Copy Code
// Open a zip file. C1ZipFile zip = new C1ZipFile(); zip.Open(@"c:\temp\myzipfile.zip"); // Open an input stream on any entry. C1ZipEntry ze = zip.Entries["someFile.cs"]; Stream s = ze.OpenReader(); // Open the StreamReader on the stream. StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s); // Use the StreamReader, then close it.

Copy Code

// Open a zip file.
C1ZipFile zip = new C1ZipFile();
zip.Open(@"c:\temp\myzipfile.zip");
// Open an input stream on any entry.
C1ZipEntry ze = zip.Entries["someFile.cs"];
Stream s = ze.OpenReader();
// Open the StreamReader on the stream.
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s);
// Use the StreamReader, then close it.
