I'm working on a program that read large csv files which can be several hundreds MBs. I noticed that compressing those files with zip would reduced the disk space used by 10.

I was thinking allowing my program to read zip files as well but only as a pass-through stream so that there is no overhead on the disk or memory usage.

I though the CompressedStream class was the one I needed but the only CompressionMethod available for the constructor are Deflated, Deflated64 and Stored.

 I couldn't find code samples with CompressedStream and Zip, is just not possible?

 Thanks,

Pascal

 

Hi Pascal,

the Deflate compression method is actually the default Zipping method, the one that has been around for more than 15 years. 

Best regards
