Hi

I have been using CompressedStream as part of web service with out any problem until it tried to decompress large amount of data (more than 300 MB), The error message is 'System.OutOfMemoryException'

 Is there any way around it? If I do not use CompressedStream, it runs ok ...

Thanks

WebRequest wReq = WebRequest.Create(http://hello.com);
wReq.Timeout = Timeout.Infinite;
WebResponse wRes = wReq.GetResponse();
Stream stream = wRes.GetResponseStream();
Xceed.Compression.Licenser.LicenseKey = "ZIN10-EBAUD-ZZZZ";
CompressedStream compStream = new CompressedStream( stream );

FileStream fs;
fs = new FileStream(destination,FileMode.Create);
byte[] buffer = new byte[32768];
int bytesRead=0;

while( ( bytesRead = compStream.Read( buffer, 0, buffer.Length ) ) > 0 ){
fs.Write (buffer, 0, bytesRead);
fs.Flush();
}
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
compStream.Close(); //automatically close stream

Your code seems fine, that's what we had in mind.  This should work if the system resources are enough.

You could try to wrap a .NET stream around the response stream, just to see if you get the same exception.  This would indicate the problem is not with CompressedStream.  You can try with BufferedStream or DeflateStream.
