Xceed Zip Compression Library Documentation
About the sample applications

The getting started quickly section has topics that tell you what you have to do to accomplish basic compression-related tasks. However, it often helps to just be able to open a project and check out how things work with a ready-to-use sample.

Xceed has provided you with various flavors of sample applications to help you out in a variety of development environments. The VB and Visual C++ include an xcdDllApi.bas and an xcdDllApi.h file respectively, which contain all the constants and function declarations you will need for using any Xceed Zip DLL API capability or function in that language.

Getting Started Sample Applications

These sample applications with source code provide you with interactive applications that show you how the most important features of the library are used.

Zip Manager Sample Application

This is a complete Zip file manipulation application. It's kind of like WinZip™, but it isn't for sale, and you get the fully commented source code. The Visual Basic version can also create self-extracting zip files.

Zip Manager Sample Application

The Zip Manager 64 sample application provides the same functionalities as the regular Zip Manager sample but uses the 64-bit event counterparts.

Memory Compression Sample Applications

The library includes a few sample applications that demonstrate the use of the XceedCompression control.

DLL API samples

If you need to program using the DLL API, these sample applications demonstrate the basics for programming zipping and unzipping functionality.
