Reading a Zipped File Using a StreamReader

To read a zipped file using a StreamReader, add the following code.

Make sure to add these Imports (Visual Basic)/using (C#) statements at the top of the code:

Imports C1.C1Zip and Imports System.IO

using C1.C1Zip; and using System.IO;

' 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#

// 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.
