Introduction

Compression and De-Compression with ZipForge ZipForge.NET Library, Supported IDEs include Microsoft Visual Studio 2003, 2005.

Background

ZipForge does more than just compress and decompress data. Lots of algorithms can be used to compress the data files. For ex: Ace128,Ace192,Ace256 etc. Creating and managing a zip file is easy.

Compression of the Files

Blocks of code should be set as style "Formatted" like this:

ComponentAce.Compression.ZipForge.ZipForge zip = new ComponentAce.Compression.ZipForge.ZipForge();
zip.EncryptionAlgorithm = ComponentAce.Compression.Archiver.EncryptionAlgorithm.Aes128;
zip.FileName = "C:\\Download\\test.zip";  
zip.Password = "satyarapelly";
zip.OpenArchive(System.IO.FileMode.Create);
foreach (string inputFileName in inputFileNames)
{
   zip.AddFiles(inputFileName);
}
zip.CloseArchive();

De-Compression of the Files

ComponentAce.Compression.ZipForge.ZipForge zip = new ComponentAce.Compression.ZipForge.ZipForge();
zip.FileName = "C:\\Download\\test.zip";  
if (System.IO.File.Exists(zip.FileName))
   zip.OpenArchive(System.IO.FileMode.Open);

zip.BaseDir = textBox4.Text;
zip.Password = textBox2.Text;
zip.ExtractFiles("*.*");
zip.CloseArchive();
