I don't really know how to use compression in VB.net, so I was wondering if someone could explain it to me. I'm also wondering if it is possible to create a compressed file with your own extension.
View 13 RepliesI have File Like "Sample.bak" and when I compress it to be "Sample.zip" I lose the file extension inside the zip file I meann when I open the compressed file I find "Sample" without any extension.
I use this code :
Dim name As String = Path.GetFileName(filePath).Replace(".Bak", "")
Dim source() As Byte = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath)
Dim compressed() As Byte = ConvertToByteArray(source)
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(destination & name & ".Bak" & ".zip", compressed)
Or using this code :
Public Sub cmdCompressFile(ByVal FileName As String)
'Stream object that reads file contents
Dim streamObj As Stream = New StreamReader(FileName).BaseStream
[CODE]...

Dim a() As Byte = {}
FileGet(1, a)

I have found that to get part of my program to do what i need it to do without causing proplems is to remove the file extention, do what needs to be done with the files and then put the file extention back.

I am having problems downloading files possibly due to the file extensions not matching the actual file. What is happening is the File.Exists check is returning false for these even though the named file does exist. Is anybody aware of anything in IIS or even IE which would cause this? I have seen this with .txt, .exe. and .avi files. The .avi works of as long as the file really is an avi and not renamed from something else.

View 1 RepliesHow would i go about checking a file extention to see if it is either
'.exe' or '.ex_'
What i need to be able to do is that if the extention of the file is '.ex_' then that file is copied to another folder, or if the file extention is '.exe' then it is passed onto another routine that will compress is.
Baring in mind that there could be a number of files in that folder.
I already have a routine that will compress the files, just need the above.
I am looking for an advise on how to find out the extension of the file only knowing the name and the location of it. I tried getextension method and some other but they don't seem to do anything to me.
