TODO:
Have you ever wanted to create a .zip file using C#?
SOLUTION:
public static string Compress(FileInfo fi)
{
// Get the stream of the source file.
using (FileStream inFile = fi.OpenRead())
{
// Prevent compressing already compressed files.
if ((File.GetAttributes(fi.FullName)
& FileAttributes.Hidden)
!= FileAttributes.Hidden & fi.Extension != ".zip")
{
// Create the compressed file.
using (FileStream outFile =
File.Create(fi.FullName + ".zip"))
{
using (GZipStream Compress =
new GZipStream(outFile,
CompressionMode.Compress))
{
// Copy the source file into the compression stream.
inFile.CopyTo(Compress);
return fi.FullName + ".zip";
}
}
}
return "";
}
