Parameters

buffer

An array of bytes to decompress.

offset

The byte offset in buffer at which to begin taking the data to compress.

count

The maximum number of bytes to be taken from buffer.

method

A CompressionMethod value representing the compression method that was used to compress the byte array.

Return Value

If the original data contained within the decompressed byte array was a string, then it is possible to retrieve the string using the System.Text.Encoding.GetBytes(System.Char[]) method of the System.Text.Encoding class.

The BZip, BWT, and PPMd compression methods are not supported.
