Methods

Function AppendData(ByVal inData As Byte()) As Boolean

Append text or binary data to a file within a Zip archive

Function Copy() As Byte()

Returns the compressed data as a byte array.

Returns Nothing on failure

Function CopyToBase64() As String

Returns the compressed data as a Base64-encoded string. This data can be re-added to a Zip by calling Zip.AppendBase64.

Returns Nothing on failure

Function CopyToHex() As String

Returns the compressed data as a hexidecimal encoded string. This data can be re-added to a Zip by calling Zip.AppendHex.

Returns Nothing on failure

Function Extract(ByVal dirPath As String) As Boolean

Unzips this entry into the specified base directory. The file is unzipped to the subdirectory according to the relative path stored with the entry in the Zip. Use ExtractInto to unzip into a specific directory regardless of the path information stored in the Zip.

Function ExtractInto(ByVal dirPath As String) As Boolean

Unzip a file into a specific directory

Function Inflate() As Byte()

Inflate a file within a Zip directly into memory.

Returns Nothing on failure

Function InflateToString(ByVal addCR As Boolean) As String

Inflate and return the uncompressed data as a string. Line-endings are modified to include or not include carriage-returns based on KeepCR. If KeepCR = False, then bare linefeeds are returned, otherwise CRLFs are returned.

Returns Nothing on failure

Function InflateToString2() As String

Unzip a file directly into memory as a string, and leave line-endings unmodified.

Returns Nothing on failure

Function InflateToString3(ByVal srcCharset As String) As String

Inflates a character data from a specified character encoding (such as iso-8859-1, or Shift_JIS) and returns the inflated data as a Unicode string.

Returns Nothing on failure

Function NextEntry() As ZipEntry

Return the next entry (file or directory) within the Zip

Function ReplaceData(ByVal inData As Byte()) As Boolean

Replace the contents of a file within a Zip archive

Function SaveLastError(ByVal filename As String) As Boolean

Saves the last error information to an XML formatted file.
