'Usage
 
Dim buffer() As Byte
Dim value() As Byte
 
value = QuickCompression.Compress(buffer)

public static byte[] Compress( 
   byte[] buffer
)

Parameters

buffer

The array of bytes to compress.

Return Value

The byte array will be compressed using the CompressionMethod.Deflated compression method and the CompressionLevel.Highest compression level.

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(System.Char[]) method of the System.Text.Encoding class.
