The C1.Xaml.Zip.dll contains classes that provide data compression services. In Windows Store applications, data compression is especially useful when transferring between client and server. These classes are divided into three levels:
|
Level |
Main Classes |
Description |
|
High |
C1ZipFile, C1ZipEntry, C1ZipEntryCollection |
Use these classes to create, open, and manage ZIP files. You can inspect the contents of ZIP files, test their integrity, add, delete, and extract entries to and from ZIP files. |
|
Medium |
C1ZStreamReader, C1ZStreamWriter |
Use these classes to compress and expand data into and out of regular .NET streams (including memory, file, and network streams). |
|
Low |
ZStream |
This is the lowest level class in C1Zip. It is a 100% C# implementation of Zlib, the popular data-compression library written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler. ZStream is used by the higher level classes in C1Zip. |
