Public Sub Write( _
   ByVal buffer() As Byte, _
   ByVal offset As Integer, _
   ByVal count As Integer _
)

Dim instance As Archive
Dim buffer() As Byte
Dim offset As Integer
Dim count As Integer
 
instance.Write(buffer, offset, count)

public void Write( 
   byte[] buffer,
   int offset,
   int count
)

public: void Write( 
   byte[]* buffer,
   int offset,
   int count
)

public:
void Write( 
   array<byte>^ buffer,
   int offset,
   int count
)

Parameters

buffer: The storage location for the written data.
offset: The zero-based position in the buffer from which to begin writing from.
count: The exact number of bytes to write.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Thrown when the buffer is null.
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Thrown when the offset is less than zero or when count is less than or equal to zero.
System.ArgumentException	Thrown when the (offset + count) > buffer.Length.

Remarks

This method allows the user to uncompress an Archive "on the fly" without using intermediate disk storage to buffer the entire zip archive first. Files are restored to the location specifed by the Archive.DestinationDirectory. This feature is useful for streaming applications where the zip file must be processed buffer by buffer.

Gzip files are not supported by this streaming technique. Archive.Unzip must be used to inflate Gzip-compressed files.
