    In This Topic
    Compresses an array of bytes using the LZMA compression format and CompressionLevel.Highest.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overloads Shared Function Compress( _
       ByVal buffer() As Byte _
    ) As Byte()
    'Usage
     
    Dim buffer() As Byte
    Dim value() As Byte
     
    value = LZMACompressedStream.Compress(buffer)
    public static byte[] Compress( 
       byte[] buffer
    )

    Parameters

    buffer
    The array of bytes to compress.

    Return Value

    An array of bytes containing the compressed data.
    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 System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes method of the System.Text.Encoding class.
