Hi,

We are evaluating to use the xceed silverlight zipwriter to zip the files in our silverlight application.Is there is any way/API's to revert/delete the zip file created in case we hit upon some exception in between the process of zipping. This way we don't end up creating partial/invalid zip  files.

Thanks

Sandeep

There is no such API in the component.

The ZipWriter takes a Stream object created by you as its output store. As such, ZipWriter has no way of knowing what the Stream's true physical entity is. Since you create the Stream object prior to giving it to ZipWriter, refer to the documentation of the framework or library that you're using to see if there's a way to delete the data.

If you're using a Stream created by Silverlight's FileInfo class, usually through a OpenFileDialog, you can delete it with FileInfo.Delete() method.

Documentation:

FileInfo.Delete

OpenFileDialog.File
