I have to create two folders inside of a zip file that I create programmatically using ICSharpCode.SharZipLib.Zip
. I want to:
private void AddToZipStream(byte[] inputStream, ZipOutputStream zipStream, string fileName, string fileExtension)
{
var courseName = RemoveSpecialCharacters(fileName);
var m_Bytes = inputStream;
if ((m_Bytes != null) && (zipStream != null))
{
var newEntry = new ZipEntry(ZipEntry.CleanName(string.Concat(courseName, fileExtension)));
newEntry.DateTime = DateTime.Now;
newEntry.Size = m_Bytes.Length;
zipStream.PutNextEntry(newEntry);
zipStream.Write(m_Bytes, 0, m_Bytes.Length);
zipStream.CloseEntry();
zipStream.UseZip64 = UseZip64.Off;
}
}
How do I create a directory using ZipEntry
and how do then add files to the directory located inside of the Zip archive?
I figured it out:
new ZipEntry("Folder1/Archive.txt");
and new ZipEntry("Folder2/Archive2.txt");
The answer above will work for several scenarios, but it will not work when you want to add an empty folder to a zip file.
I sifted through the SharpZipLib code and found that the only thing you need to do to create a folder is a trailing "/" forward slash on the ZipEntry name.
Here's the code from the library:
public bool IsDirectory {
get {
int nameLength = name.Length;
bool result =
((nameLength > 0) &&
((name[nameLength - 1] == '/') || (name[nameLength - 1] == '\\'))) ||
HasDosAttributes(16)
;
return result;
}
}
So, just create folders as though they are files with ZipEntry, and put a forward slash on the end. It works. I've tested it.
