    Compress(Byte[],Int32,Int32) Method
    In This Topic
    Compresses an array of bytes using the LZMA compression format specifying the amount of bytes to compress.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overloads Shared Function Compress( _
       ByVal buffer() As Byte, _
       ByVal offset As Integer, _
       ByVal count As Integer _
    ) As Byte()
    'Usage
     
    Dim buffer() As Byte
    Dim offset As Integer
    Dim count As Integer
    Dim value() As Byte
     
    value = LZMACompressedStream.Compress(buffer, offset, count)
    public static byte[] Compress( 
       byte[] buffer,
       int offset,
       int count
    )

    Parameters

    buffer
    The array of bytes to compress. A maximum of count bytes are taken from this array and compressed.
    offset
    The byte offset in buffer at which to begin taking the data to compress.
    count
    The maximum number of bytes to be taken from buffer.

    Return Value

    An array of bytes containing the compressed data. Can be empty.
    Remarks
    If the data to compress is not a byte array, it will need to be converted into a byte array before it can be compressed. This can be done, in the case of a string, using the method of the System.Text.Encoding class.
    Requirements

    Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
