Zip for .NET Fundamentals

The classes in the C1Zip library 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.
