ZlibStream Constructor (stream, mode, level, leaveOpen)

Keyoti RapidSpell Desktop .NET

Create a ZlibStream using the specified CompressionMode and the specified CompressionLevel, and explicitly specify whether the stream should be left open after Deflation or Inflation.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public ZlibStream(
	Stream stream,
	CompressionMode mode,
	CompressionLevel level,
	bool leaveOpen
)

public ZlibStream(
	Stream stream,
	CompressionMode mode,
	CompressionLevel level,
	bool leaveOpen
)

Public Sub New ( 
	stream As Stream,
	mode As CompressionMode,
	level As CompressionLevel,
	leaveOpen As Boolean
)

Public Sub New ( 
	stream As Stream,
	mode As CompressionMode,
	level As CompressionLevel,
	leaveOpen As Boolean
)

public:
ZlibStream(
	Stream^ stream, 
	CompressionMode mode, 
	CompressionLevel level, 
	bool leaveOpen
)

public:
ZlibStream(
	Stream^ stream, 
	CompressionMode mode, 
	CompressionLevel level, 
	bool leaveOpen
)

new : 
        stream : Stream * 
        mode : CompressionMode * 
        level : CompressionLevel * 
        leaveOpen : bool -> ZlibStream

new : 
        stream : Stream * 
        mode : CompressionMode * 
        level : CompressionLevel * 
        leaveOpen : bool -> ZlibStream

Parameters

stream (Stream): The stream which will be read or written.

mode (CompressionMode): Indicates whether the ZlibStream will compress or decompress.

level (CompressionLevel): A tuning knob to trade speed for effectiveness. This parameter is effective only when mode is CompressionMode.Compress.

leaveOpen (Boolean): true if the application would like the stream to remain open after inflation/deflation.

Remarks

This constructor allows the application to request that the captive stream remain open after the deflation or inflation occurs. By default, after Close() is called on the stream, the captive stream is also closed. In some cases this is not desired, for example if the stream is a MemoryStream that will be re-read after compression. Specify true for the leaveOpen parameter to leave the stream open.

When mode is CompressionMode.Decompress, the level parameter is ignored.

Examples

This example shows how to use a ZlibStream to compress the data from a file, and store the result into another file. The filestream remains open to allow additional data to be written to it.
