Introduction

The ZipFile class lives in the System.IO.Compression namespace. It can be used to read from, and write to Zip files.

Remarks

• You can also use a MemoryStream instead of a FileStream.
• Exceptions

Exception | Condition ————————— | —— ArgumentException | The stream has already been closed, or the capabilities of the stream does not match the mode (eg: trying to write to a read only stream) ArgumentNullException | input stream is null ArgumentOutOfRangeException | mode has an invalid value InvalidDataException | See list below

When a InvalidDataException is thrown, it can have 3 causes:

• The contents of the stream could not be interpreted as a zip archive
• mode is Update and an entry is missing from the archive or is corrupt and cannot be read
• mode is Update and an entry is too large to fit into memory
