DeflateStream 4GB Limit in .NET

Question

From MSDN: DeflateStream Class

DeflateStream cannot be used to compress files larger than 4 GB.

Are there any other implementations for .NET without the 4 GB limit?

NOTE: I really need to decompress a file in GZ format with content larger than 4 GB. Can any code do that?

Answer 1

FYI, we have removed the 4 GB limit from DeflateStream in .NET 4.

Answer 2

There is sample code at CodeProject using the 7-Zip library.

The license is open, so you should be able to use this in your project.

7-Zip also supports GZ files.
