I have a memory stream that contains a zip file in byte[] format .

Is there any way I can unzip this memory stream, without any need of writing the file to disk ?

In general I am using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.FastZip to unzip a file , But any way to unzip a memory stream ? and store the files in another memorystream or in byte[] format according to the files/folders present in the zip ?

Any way I can use the Memorymapped files feature in this scenario ?

One way is to use GZipStream[^] class.

Have a look at the example in the documentation. Even though the example utilizes a FileStream, you can use basically any stream that's inherited from System.IO.Stream.
