DeflateStream Constructors

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class.

Overloads

DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionLevel)

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream and compression level.

DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionMode)

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream and compression mode.

DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionLevel, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream and compression level, and optionally leaves the stream open.

DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionMode, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream and compression mode, and optionally leaves the stream open.

DeflateStream(Stream, ZLibCompressionOptions, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream, compression options, and optionally leaves the stream open.

Remarks

Using the DeflateStream class to compress a file larger than 4 GB will cause an exception.

DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionLevel)

Source:
DeflateStream.cs
Source:
DeflateStream.cs
Source:
DeflateStream.cs

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream and compression level.

public:
 DeflateStream(System::IO::Stream ^ stream, System::IO::Compression::CompressionLevel compressionLevel);
public DeflateStream (System.IO.Stream stream, System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel compressionLevel);
new System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream : System.IO.Stream * System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel -> System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream
Public Sub New (stream As Stream, compressionLevel As CompressionLevel)

Parameters

stream
Stream

The stream to which compressed data is written.

compressionLevel
CompressionLevel

One of the enumeration values that indicates whether to emphasize speed or compression efficiency when compressing data to the stream.

Exceptions

stream is null.

The stream does not support write operations such as compression. (The CanWrite property on the stream object is false.)

Remarks

You use this constructor when you want to specify whether compression efficiency or speed is more important for an instance of the DeflateStream class.

This constructor overload uses the compression mode Compress. To set the compression mode to another value, use the DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionMode) or DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionMode, Boolean) overload.

Examples

The following example shows how to set the compression level when creating a DeflateStream object and how to leave the stream open.

DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionMode)

Source:
DeflateStream.cs
Source:
DeflateStream.cs
Source:
DeflateStream.cs

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream and compression mode.

public:
 DeflateStream(System::IO::Stream ^ stream, System::IO::Compression::CompressionMode mode);
public DeflateStream (System.IO.Stream stream, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode mode);
new System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream : System.IO.Stream * System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode -> System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream
Public Sub New (stream As Stream, mode As CompressionMode)

Parameters

stream
Stream

The stream to which compressed data is written or from which data to decompress is read.

mode
CompressionMode

One of the enumeration values that indicates whether to compress data to the stream or decompress data from the stream.

Exceptions

stream is null.

mode is not a valid CompressionMode value.

-or-

CompressionMode is Compress and CanWrite is false.

-or-

CompressionMode is Decompress and CanRead is false.

Remarks

By default, DeflateStream owns the underlying stream, so closing the stream also closes the underlying stream. Note that the state of the underlying stream can affect the usability of the stream. Also, no explicit checks are performed, so no additional exceptions are thrown when the new instance is created.

If an instance of the DeflateStream class is created with the mode parameter equal to Compress, header information is inserted immediately. If no further action occurs, the stream appears as a valid, empty, compressed file.

Using the DeflateStream class to compress a file larger than 4 GB raises an exception.

By default, the compression level is set to Optimal when the compression mode is Compress.

The following example shows how to use the DeflateStream class to compress and decompress a file.

DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionLevel, Boolean)

Source:
DeflateStream.cs
Source:
DeflateStream.cs
Source:
DeflateStream.cs

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream and compression level, and optionally leaves the stream open.

public:
 DeflateStream(System::IO::Stream ^ stream, System::IO::Compression::CompressionLevel compressionLevel, bool leaveOpen);
public DeflateStream (System.IO.Stream stream, System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel compressionLevel, bool leaveOpen);
new System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream : System.IO.Stream * System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel * bool -> System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream
Public Sub New (stream As Stream, compressionLevel As CompressionLevel, leaveOpen As Boolean)

Parameters

stream
Stream

The stream to which compressed data is written.

compressionLevel
CompressionLevel

One of the enumeration values that indicates whether to emphasize speed or compression efficiency when compressing data to the stream.

leaveOpen
Boolean

true to leave the stream object open after disposing the DeflateStream object; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

stream is null.

The stream does not support write operations such as compression. (The CanWrite property on the stream object is false.)

Remarks

You use this constructor when you want to specify whether compression efficiency or speed is more important for an instance of the DeflateStream class, and whether to leave the stream object open after disposing the DeflateStream object.

This constructor overload uses the compression mode Compress. To set the compression mode to another value, use the DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionMode) or DeflateStream(Stream, CompressionMode, Boolean) overload.

Applies to

DeflateStream(Stream, ZLibCompressionOptions, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the DeflateStream class by using the specified stream, compression options, and optionally leaves the stream open.

public DeflateStream (System.IO.Stream stream, System.IO.Compression.ZLibCompressionOptions compressionOptions, bool leaveOpen = false);
new System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream : System.IO.Stream * System.IO.Compression.ZLibCompressionOptions * bool -> System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream
Public Sub New (stream As Stream, compressionOptions As ZLibCompressionOptions, Optional leaveOpen As Boolean = false)

Parameters

stream
Stream

The stream to which compressed data is written.

compressionOptions
ZLibCompressionOptions

The options for fine tuning the compression stream.

leaveOpen
Boolean

true to leave the stream object open after disposing the DeflateStream object; otherwise, false

Exceptions

stream or compressionOptions is null.
