    ZLibCompressedStream Class
    In This Topic
    Represents a pass-through stream that reads and writes ZLib formatted compressed data.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Class ZLibCompressedStream 
   Inherits FormattedCompressedStream
   Implements System.IDisposable 
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As ZLibCompressedStream
    public class ZLibCompressedStream : FormattedCompressedStream, System.IDisposable 
    Remarks

    Compression is applied to data being written to the stream, and decompression is performed when data is read from the stream.

    By default, closing the ZLibCompressedStream will also close the inner stream. This behavior can be modified by setting the FormattedCompressedStream.Transient property to true.

    To make sure that the header and footer are written, you can call FormattedCompressedStream.Write with 0 bytes. If neither FormattedCompressedStream.Write nor FormattedCompressedStream.Read has been called, the ZLibCompressedStream does not know if it is reading or writing.
