Check out ShapZipLib: http://www.sharpdevelop.com/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx. It'll get
you as far as allowing to decompress zip files. From there you could write
your own class that would decommpress a file into a temp directory and open
a stream on it. You might be able by using the provided source code add an
ability to stream directly from the decompression routine, without an
intermediate file
Our product, Xceed Zip for .NET Compact Framework, will let you
directly access any file, including a .TXT file, as a .NET file or
file stream object, directly from within the Zip file, with only a
couple of lines of code. Quick and easy... Just not free

Yes, I was about to recommend Xceed library, but was in doubt since from the
web site description it is not obvious if one can open a stream on a
separate file in the archive. Thanks for confirming
- works fast
- locks files; cannot zip same files second time before GC collects their objects
- issues SHARE_READ only, not SHARE_READ | SHARE_WRITE (this is when translated to win32 API. Another sort of trouble, yet arguable
- documentation sucks
- WHILE UNINSTALLS, removes .NET HELP COLLECTION. You will have to reinstall VS - at least in my case
....We can take criticism, but more work has probably gone into the
Xceed Zip for .NET documentation than many competing Zip library
developers have put on their entire .NET Zip product including the
docs...
Might as well turn it into constructive criticism while you are at it,
thanks.
