Parameters

zipArchive: The name of the compressed file to be opened.

Remarks

This overload is intended to open compressed files and populate the Archive collection.

Example

The following example demonstrates loading a compressed file and unzipping the file.

Visual Basic

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

' Open a compressed stream.  This populates the Archive collection.
Archive1.Open("c:\test.zip")

' Preserve the path structure and overwrite any existing files.
Archive1.PreservePath = True
Archive1.Overwrite = Overwrite.Always

' Unzip to c:\test
Archive1.Unzip("c:\Test")

// Be sure to import the namespace by putting "using Dart.PowerTCP.Zip;"
// at the top of your class.

// Open a compressed stream.  This populates the Archive collection.
archive1.Open("c:\\test.zip");

// Preserve the path structure and overwrite any existing files.
archive1.PreservePath = true;
archive1.Overwrite = Overwrite.Always;

// Unzip to c:\test
archive1.Unzip("c:\\Test");
