Parameters

entryName
String

A path, relative to the root of the archive, that specifies the name of the entry to be created.

The zip archive has been disposed.

Examples

The following example shows how to create an entry and write to it by using a stream.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (FileStream zipToOpen = new FileStream(@"c:\users\exampleuser\release.zip", FileMode.Open))
            {
                using (ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(zipToOpen, ZipArchiveMode.Update))
                {
                    ZipArchiveEntry readmeEntry = archive.CreateEntry("Readme.txt");
                    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(readmeEntry.Open()))
                    {
                            writer.WriteLine("Information about this package.");
                            writer.WriteLine("========================");
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

    use zipToOpen = new FileStream(@"c:\users\exampleuser\release.zip", FileMode.Open)

    use archive = new ZipArchive(zipToOpen, ZipArchiveMode.Update)

    let readmeEntry = archive.CreateEntry "Readme.txt"
    use writer = new StreamWriter(readmeEntry.Open())

    writer.WriteLine "Information about this package."
    writer.WriteLine "========================"

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Using zipToOpen As FileStream = New FileStream("c:\users\exampleuser\release.zip", FileMode.Open)
            Using archive As ZipArchive = New ZipArchive(zipToOpen, ZipArchiveMode.Update)
                Dim readmeEntry As ZipArchiveEntry = archive.CreateEntry("Readme.txt")
                Using writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(readmeEntry.Open())
                    writer.WriteLine("Information about this package.")
                    writer.WriteLine("========================")
                End Using
            End Using
        End Using
    End Sub

End Module

Remarks

The entryName string should reflect the relative path of the entry you want to create within the zip archive. There is no restriction on the string you provide. However, if it is not formatted as a relative path, the entry is created, but you may get an exception when you extract the contents of the zip archive. If an entry with the specified path and name already exists in the archive, a second entry is created with the same path and name.

The value of the LastWriteTime property for the new entry is set to the current time. The entry is compressed using the default compression level of the underlying compression algorithm. If you want to specify a different compression level, use the CreateEntry method.

Examples

The following example shows how to create an entry with the optimal compression level. It also writes to the new entry by using a stream.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (FileStream zipToOpen = new FileStream(@"c:\users\exampleuser\release.zip", FileMode.Open))
            {
                using (ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(zipToOpen, ZipArchiveMode.Update))
                {
                    ZipArchiveEntry readmeEntry = archive.CreateEntry("Readme.txt", CompressionLevel.Optimal);
                    using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(readmeEntry.Open()))
                    {
                            writer.WriteLine("Information about this package.");
                            writer.WriteLine("========================");

Remarks

The entryName string should reflect the relative path of the entry you want to create within the zip archive. There is no restriction on the string you provide. However, if it is not formatted as a relative path, the entry is created, but you may get an exception when you extract the contents of the zip archive. If an entry with the specified name already exists in the archive, a second entry is created with the same name.

The value of the LastWriteTime property for the new entry is set to the current time. Set the compressionLevel parameter to Optimal if you want the file to be compressed as much as possible. Set the compressionLevel parameter to Fastest only if you are concerned that the compression operation will not complete quickly enough for your scenario.
