DeflateStream Poor Compression?

Neo
I was changing over my code from the #Ziplib
(http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSourc...b/Default.aspx)
compression streams to the new DefalteStream in the 2.0 framework. I
noticed all my compressed data growing by 2x. Is there something that I
am doing wrong? It would be sad to think that the new standard
compression stream was written with a sub par algorithm.

Any body have any experience with this?

I'm writing a program in python that creates tar files of a certain maximum size (to fit onto CD/DVD). One of the problems I'm running into is that when using compression, it's pretty much impossible to determine if a file, once added to an archive, will cause the archive size to exceed the maximum size. I believe that to do this properly, you need to copy the state of tar file (basically the current file offset as well as the state of...

I am trying to roll a simple compression scheme for network communication in an app I am developing. On the sender side, I compress each block of a set amount of bytes individually, then send it over the NetworkStream along with the size of the original data, the size of the compressed data, and a byte telling the receiving end whether to expect more. On the receiving end, these blocks are received along with that size data and buffers...

The compression part of this code works fine for me, but the decompression part of this code does not. The output file from that is the same as the compressed file. What is wrong with my code? Thanks, Jon 'compression starts here Dim src As FileStream = File.OpenRead(Fn) Dim dst As FileStream = File.Create(Ofn) Dim cmp As New DeflateStream(dst, CompressionMode.Compress)

I'm using .NET 2.0.50727 in VS 2005 Pro, ENU Service Pack 1 (KB926601). I've been experimenting with the System.IO.Compression classes GZipStream and DeflateStream, and I found it interesting to note that they'll create different-sized compressed files depending on the procedure you use to take in the source file's data. With one, almost every file I feed them for compression ends up significantly bigger. That code is below, almost verbatim...

IIRC, we can use only System.IO.Compression.InflateStream to uncompress files compressed with System.IO Compression.DeflateStream. If that is in fact true, what are some alternatives you might recommend? I'm writing a Console app that, amongst other things compresses files. I want to be able to uncompress the files using WinZip and other similar and generally available compression/uncompression utilities. I have seen and used 7-Zip,...

Trying to zip/unzip files from VB.NET 2005 with 2.0 .NET Framework ... but the file created "SampleFile.zip" is not a readable zip file. (Using GZipStream works correctly to produce a readable .gz file) How do I properly create a .zip file without 3rd-party lib?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
