Hi All,

I am writing an application to compress directories. Can somebody please give me a working sample of compressing directories using 7z. SevenZIp only. plzzzz

so far i have this :

C#

List string subfiles = new List string(Directory.GetFiles(inFolder));
foreach (string file in subfiles)
{
Console.WriteLine(Files to Compress : + file);
add Files to list
}
 

AddToArchive(inFolder, splitIntoDir);
 

public void AddToArchive(string fileToBeZipped, string zipDestination)
{
DirectoryInfo Di = new DirectoryInfo(zipDestination);
StringBuilder sb_archiveFile = new StringBuilder(zipDestination + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + Di.Name + @".7z");
string archiveFile = sb_archiveFile.ToString();
 

SevenZip.SevenZipCompressor compressor = new SevenZipCompressor();

Console.WriteLine("zip destination : " + Di.Name);
if (!File.Exists(fileToBeZipped))
{
Console.WriteLine("Appending {0} to Archive ", fileToBeZipped);
compressor.CompressionMode = SevenZip.CompressionMode.Append;
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Creating {0} at Destination {1}....", fileToBeZipped, archiveFile);//MAKE OUT FILE A CREATED FILE NEWLY ONE
Console.WriteLine("CREATING:: ");
compressor.CompressionMode = SevenZip.CompressionMode.Create;
}
compressor.CompressionLevel = CompressionLevel.Normal;
compressor.CompressionMethod = CompressionMethod.Lzma;
compressor.CompressionMode = CompressionMode.Append;
 
compressor.CompressDirectory(zipDestination, archiveFile);
 


// compressor.CompressStream(streamer, streamer2);


}
}

This is my AddToArchive Method. All this does is creates an archive in destination folder and the archive doesnt even open. Any idea?

C#

public void AddToArchive(string inFile, string outFile)
        {
            FileInfo f = new FileInfo(inFile);
            
            


            StringBuilder output_7zip_File = new StringBuilder(outFile + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + f.Name + @".7z");
            string output_stringBuilder = output_7zip_File.ToString();
            
             StringBuilder output_File = new StringBuilder(outFile + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + f.Name);
            string output_dir_stringBuilder = output_7zip_File.ToString();

            SevenZipCompressor szc = new SevenZipCompressor();


            if (File.Exists(inFile))
            {
                szc.CompressionMode = SevenZip.CompressionMode.Append;
            }
            else
            {
               
                szc.CompressionMode = SevenZip.CompressionMode.Create;
            }
            FileStream archive = new FileStream(output_stringBuilder, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
       

          
            try
            {
                <pre lang="c#">szc.CompressionLevel = CompressionLevel.Normal;
                szc.CompressionMethod = CompressionMethod.Lzma;
                szc.CompressionMode = CompressionMode.Append;
               
                szc.DirectoryStructure = false;
                szc.EncryptHeaders = true;
                szc.DefaultItemName = inFile;

szc.CompressDirectory(outFile, archive);

}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("ERROR :::: "+ e.Message);
Console.WriteLine("ERROR :::: " + e.StackTrace);
}
//archive.Flush();
archive.Close();

}
