C1ZStreamReader Class

Decompresses data from .NET streams.

Object Model

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Class C1ZStreamReader 
   Inherits System.IO.Stream

public class C1ZStreamReader : System.IO.Stream

Remarks

To decompress data from a compressed stream, create a C1ZStreamReader object passing the compressed stream to the C1ZStreamReader constructor.

Then read the data from the C1ZStreamReader using the Read method, or create a System.IO.StreamReader on the C1ZStreamReader. The second option is indicated when you want to read formatted data.

Example

The code below decompresses a string that was stored into a memory stream object:

public string ExpandString(byte[] buffer)
{
	// turn buffer into a memory stream
	MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(buffer);
	
	// attach decompressor stream to memory stream
	C1ZStreamReader sr = new C1ZStreamReader(ms);
	
	// read uncompressed data
	StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(sr);
	return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
