Hello,
I would like to know which one of the following compressiom methods are
the easiest to implement in c# and the most effective one in compression
of files? (text or code files)
Which one of those: zip, tar, tar.gz, gz. ?
And is there any code sample in C# of the API with compression?
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;
void static GZFile(string source, string destination)
{
using (
Stream src = File.Open(source, FileMode.Open),
dst = File.Open(destination, FileMode.Create) )
{
Stream gz = new GZipStream(dst, CompressionMode.Compress);
Pump(src, gz);
gz.Flush();
gz.Close();
}
}
This will create a gz file. Note Pump (code not shown) simply chunks a 128K
buffer from one stream to another.
It doesn't get any simpler. However other third party libraries would
probably get better compression.
