I'm trying to compress a file in .NET, but having some trouble. The zip file is created, but it's only 1KB and no files are within the zip file. Basically, it's not working for some reason and I'm not sure why.
Public Sub CompressFile(ByVal fileName As String)
Dim strOutput As Stream = File.Create("zippedFile.zip")
Try
Using (strOutput)
Dim strInput As Stream = File.OpenRead(fileName)
Using (strInput)

View 1 RepliesHow do I create 7-Zip archives with .NET?
I'm looking for ways to do compression and decompression in 7z format via code in VB.NET and C#. Is there any library or .Net code for this purpose?
I know there are GZipStream and DeflateStream in .Net but I want 7z format for better compression ratio.
I'm currently working on a utility software, file compression, with VB.Net. And using an open source library to compress and decompress files - DotNetZip - and already running.
My friend told to make it unique and not traditional, that I make the output compressed files cannot be opened with other compression software. Now my question is... is it possible that way? Using an open source library which the output format is ".zip"?
I first thought that changing the file extension of the compressed file to unknown format so it can't be opened when you try to decompress it, unfortunately, using the "Open With..." function of windows it could still be decompressed.
Is it really possible? OR what other features can I add that WinZIP doesnt have yet? I compared my work to WinZip since the same output is ".zip".
I would like help to compress a file with zlib. I have have searched google for ages and found losts of examples but i can't get any to work in VB 2008 Express. I am also not sure which version of the dll to use as there seems to be a few for VB.Can someone post some code that will work in VB 2008 so i can see how to do it and also a link to the dll that you used.
View 5 RepliesI'm wanting to make a program to rip dvd's but more importantly to store them so the user can watch them when they want. To keep the cpu's memory down I figured I can compress the dvds when the person just has them sitting there and then decompress them when the user wants to play them. I've kinda looked into gzipstream, but would that really work? Should I take a different route?

We need to conditionally disable GZIP compression if user's browser is IE6 (it hangs browser for 5min) in few pages of larger site. Server is IIS7 and has compression for static content turned on - want that compression left working if user agent is not Mozilla/4.0. ASPX code sample anyone? Alternatively, code to conditionally redirect to the same page on another site (could create another virtual site with compression disabled) but need to pass all parameters (GET/POST).

View 9 RepliesI have a WCF Windows service that provides data to 250+ PDAs via compressed datasets and was looking to redevelop both the service and the mobile application to use Entity Framework 4.x models. In order to keep performance acceptable when sending/receiving data on the PDA I need to keep the data size as small as possible and was wondering if its possible to compress a IEnumerable from the WCF windows service? From previous experience with the datasets I got a 80%+/- compression rate and even decompressing the data on the PDA achieved an overal 50% performance importment so retaining similar levels of performance is critical. Could I use a binary serializer and then compress the stream?

I'm having an issue with rasing an event. In my application I have a form and within that form I create an instance of a class (clsUsage). Within clsUsage I create an instance of clsUser which does several checks form permissions and other things. What I want is for clsUser to send status updates to clsUsage. ClsUser will be a dll but for now I've got it as a separate project in my solution. The RaiseEvent in clsUser seems to execute but the proc in clsUser that handles the event does not execute. I'm wondering if this is threading issue.

I have some code written by another developer(no, really). The datagridview has the AllowUserToResizeColumns property set to true, but at runtime the grid will not allow column resizing. I've checked the code to see if the property is being set in code and I can't find anything. Is there some other grid property that, if set to a certain value, will disable column resizing?

I have a table in my database. I have an import routine which reads rows from and XML file. It first loops through my existing table to see if the row exists using a date and store code column as a unique id. It all works fine until this senario occurs.First file is read in and a new row is added for 01/03/2011, store code 100. The second file is read in which also has a row with 01/03/2011, store code 100. But when I loop through it does not find the row I just added so it adds it again.The only solution I can think of is to re-populate the local table everytime I add a new row but this will have a massive amount of over heads.If I add a row to an existing dataset surely if I loop through that dataset I should come across it.
