ComponentOne Zip for WinForms
Create, open, and manage industry standard zip files from within your application.
ComponentOne Zip for WinForms is a Windows.NET component that allows you to add compression and encryption to any .NET stream (including memory, file, and network streams). Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 compatible (VS2005, VS2008)
ComponentOne Zip for WinForms is sold as part of the ComponentOne Studio Enterprise and the ComponentOne Studio for WinForms.
ComponentOne Zip for WinForms class library is architected to provide developers with three levels of programmatic control. At the most abstract level you take total control over zip files, but when you need more power and flexibility, you can work directly with the low-level data compression engine. This object model simplifies the process adding robust data compression and zip file manipulation functionality to your .NET applications.
High Level Classes: C1ZipFile, C1ZipEntry, and C1ZipEntryCollection
The highest-level classes in the ComponentOne Zip for WinForms library include the C1ZipFile, C1ZipEntry, and C1ZipEntryCollection classes. These classes give you the power to create, open, and easily manage industry standard zip files. With these classes, you can inspect the contents of zip files, test their integrity, and even add, delete, and extract entries to and from zip files. Using zip files to store application data provides the following benefits:
Streamline application deployment: Consolidate multiple files into a single compressed zip file (optionally password protected)
Save disk space and network bandwidth: Allow your end-users to give their hard disk and network the extra space it deserves by adding convenient zip compression to your .NET application
Industry standard format: No need to worry about file compatibility. ComponentOne Zip for WinForms allows you to completely control industry standard zip files
