Parameters

source: A .NET Stream containing the data to add to the archive.

Use this method to add a Stream (which could be a FileStream, MemoryStream, or any other type of .NET Stream) to the archive. Compress the Stream by using the Archive.Zip method.

The source stream is not altered by the Archive component. For example, after reading, the Archive component will not close the source stream.

The following example demonstrates several Add techniques and a zip operation.

Visual Basic

' Be sure to import the namespace by putting "Imports Dart.PowerTCP.Zip"
' at the top of your class.

' Add a file using the ArchiveItem constructor
Dim item = New ArchiveItem("c:\Test\\file1.txt")

' Add a comment to this item
item.Comment = "This is file1.txt"

' Use encryption for just this item
item.Encryption = Encryption.Standard
item.Password = "testme"

Archive1.Add(item)

' Add a file using the filename.  This could also be used for adding wildcard collections
Archive1.Add("c:\Test\file2.log")

' Add a wildcard collection of files
' In this case, all "txt" files in the directory "c:\Test" are added, except "file1.txt"
' Subfolders are not included, but the paths are preserved.
Archive1.IncludeSubs = True
Archive1.ExcludePattern = "file1.txt"
Archive1.PreservePath = True
Archive1.Add("c:\Test\*.txt")

' zip the data
Archive1.Zip("c:\test.zip")

C#

// Be sure to import the namespace by putting "using Dart.PowerTCP.Zip;"

// Add a comment to this item

item.Password = "testme";

archive1.Add(item);

// Add a file using the filename.  This could also be used for adding wildcard collections
archive1.Add("c:\\Test\\file2.log");

// Add a wildcard collection of files
// In this case, all "txt" files in the directory "c:\Test" are added, except "file1.txt"
// Subfolders are not included, but the paths are preserved.
archive1.IncludeSubs = true;
archive1.ExcludePattern= "file1.txt";
archive1.PreservePath = true;
archive1.Add("c:\\Test\\*.txt");

// Zip the data
archive1.Zip("c:\\test.zip");
