    DefaultEncryptionPassword Property
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets the default encryption password that will be used to encrypt the files that are added to the zip file.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 

    Public Overridable Property DefaultEncryptionPassword As String
    'Usage
 

    Dim instance As ZipArchive
Dim value As String
 
instance.DefaultEncryptionPassword = value
 
value = instance.DefaultEncryptionPassword
    public virtual string DefaultEncryptionPassword {get; set;}

    Property Value

    A string containing the default encryption password that will be used to encrypt the files that are added to the zip file.
    Remarks

    The length of the password is not limited. However, to preserve compatibility with Xceed Zip Compression Library (an ActiveX component) and with many popular Zip compression utilities, it is recommended that you limit passwords to no greater than 80 characters.

    It is also advisable to only use ASCII characters because there is no accepted standard on how to encode non-ASCII characters in passwords.

    Example
    AES Encryption
