    Removing an item from a gzipped file with QuickGZip
    In This Topic

    This topic demonstrates how to remove a file from a gzipped file using the static Remove method of the QuickGZip class.

    Note: QuickGZip is not currently available in Xceed's Compact Framework products.

    Remove method

    There is only one version of the Remove method.

    Demonstration

    In the following example, we specify the gzipped file and the file to remove.

    VB.NET Copy Code
    Imports Xceed.GZip

    QuickGZip.Remove("d:\test.gz", "test.txt")
    C# Copy Code
    using Xceed.GZip;

    QuickGZip.Remove(@"d:\test.gz", "test.txt")

    Remarks

    GZipped files may only contain one file.

    Things you should consider

    The main questions you should ask yourself when removing an item from a gzipped file are:

    • Do you want to do more complex GZip operations? Use the FileSystem-based classes defined within the Xceed.GZip namespace.
