J# Zip Question Again

[BuddyWork]

Do you know or have any examples on how to get
ZipOutputStream/ZipInputStream classes so it can
compress/uncompress without writing to a file, I
basically want to pass in a string so it gets compressed
by either using GZip or Zip, then I want to pass in the
compression string and uncompress it either by using GZip
or Zip?

Please note that I've looked at Inflater and Deflater but
it does not seem to use the Zip and GZip compression.

Thanks

BuddyWork,

Have you looked at the Sharp Zip Library for .NET? It should do what
you need. You can find it at (watch for line wrap):

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx

Also, in .NET 2.0, there is a namespace for compression which has
classes that you might want to take a look at.

Hope this helps.

Hello Nicholas,

Thanks for the reply, I have looked at SharpZipLib but we
want to use the J# Zip library due to the public license
on SharpZipLib.

Thanks,
