Text Compression

[Philip Sheard]

My application uses 64 blocks of text, each containing about 6000
characters, which I include as resource files. I would like to compress the
text, in order to reduce the size of my program. Can anyone tell me what
compression mechanisms are available in the .Net CF?

Which version of .Net CF are you using?

..Net CF 3.5 includes the System.IO.Compression namespace.

..Net CF 2.0 and earlier do not. For that you need to use and external
library.

Hi,

If you need to use an external library then the SharpZipLib can be used -
