I am simply looking for a way to compress multiple files in a GZip file with the GZipStream class. Anybody has an idea how to do that?

Zip can compress multiple files and even entire directory hierarchies. gzip, on the other hand, compresses only a single file. That's why we typically use it with tar, which packages multiple files/directories into a single archive file.
To compress multiple files at once using gzip , we use the gzip command with -d option followed by file names to be decompressed separated by a space. It decompresses the files main. py. gz , file.
gz or . z . If you want to compress multiple files or directory into one file, first you need to create a Tar archive and then compress the . tar file with Gzip.
In general, the gzip format doesn't support multiple files. Traditionally, one bundles multiple files using tar before compressing the result; you probably want to do something similar.

The gzip file format is an archive format, it contains a header and a directory that lists all of the compressed files in the archive. GZipStream merely compresses data written to the stream. The equivalent of one file in the archive, it is not capable of generating the archive format.
A popular solution is SharpZipLib, there are many others.
