Using ZipLib to create a Zip File in C#

System.IO.Compression是.Net 2.0里与压缩有关的命名空间,但是使用起来并不是很方便。使用第3方库ziplib可以很方便地进行压缩类的操作。

      从[1] 下载动态库，然后在工程里Add Reference，把ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll加进去。

在代码来创建一个zip包的例子如下（摘自ziplib sample code）

using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Checksums;

using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip;

using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.GZip;

把指定目录下的所有文件压缩到一个zip包里

        private void ZipTheReports()
        {

            string year = System.DateTime.Today.Year.ToString();
            string month = System.DateTime.Today.Month.ToString();
            string days = System.DateTime.Today.Day.ToString();    

            string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(curDir);

            string zipFileName = “Rplan Report “ + year + month + days + “.zip”;
            string zipAbsPath = this.curDir + zipFileName;

            zipRelativePath = zipFileName;

            Crc32 crc = new Crc32();
            ZipOutputStream s = new ZipOutputStream(File.Create(zipAbsPath)); // 指定zip文件的绝对路径，包括文件名

            s.SetLevel(6); // 0 – store only to 9 – means best compression

            foreach (string file in filenames)
            {

                FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(file); // 文件的绝对路径，包括文件名

                
byte[] buffer =
new
byte[fs.Length];

                fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

               
ZipEntry entry =
new
ZipEntry(extractFileName(file));
//
这里
ZipEntry
的参数必须是相对路径名，表示文件在
zip
文档里的相对路径

                entry.DateTime =
DateTime.Now;

              
// set Size and the crc, because the information

                // about the size and crc should be stored in the header

                // if it is not set it is automatically written in the footer.

                // (in this case size == crc == -1 in the header)

                // Some ZIP programs have problems with zip files that don’t store

                // the size and crc in the header.

                entry.Size = fs.Length;
                fs.Close();

                crc.Reset();

                crc.Update(buffer);

                entry.Crc = crc.Value;

                s.PutNextEntry(entry);

               s.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

            }

            s.Finish();
            s.Close();

        }

 
// e.g. convert  c:\\temp\test.xls to test.xls

       private string extractFileName(string filePath)
        {

            int index1 = filePath.LastIndexOf(“\\”);

            string fileName =

                filePath.Substring(index1+1);

           
return fileName;

        }

This sample demonstrates compression capabilities available in the .NET Framework. It builds a Windows Forms application that employs the GZipStream and DeflateStream types to compress and decompress files. The sample also introduces several types that are new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.
