Silverlight Zip Compression Library

Watch the Silverlight Infragistics.Compression video and learn how to load a zip file and extract contents in your application. (Duration: 4:52)

Now you can open, extract from, create and add to Zip files from within your Silverlight applications using this new compiled assembly that runs in Microsoft Silverlight™ and provides an independent implementation of the DeflateStream class found in the .NET Framework, plus much more. You'll find this Zip compiled assembly to be well-rounded with many of the features you need to let users of your Silverlight application work with Zip files.

 

Key Features at a Glance

  • Zip Interop – You can open, extract, create and add entries to Zip files within Silverlight, and have your Zip files be compatible with other Zip utilities.
  • Deflate Compression – You get the highly tunable and widely compatible Deflate compression method, which can be tuned to optimize compression ratio or compression time.
  • Add/Extract Single Files – Add or extract single entries on-the-fly using Streams from a single Zip file containing multiple assets, and that takes up less space.
  • Password Protected – Add and extract password protected file entries in Zip files.
  • Directory of Zip Contents – You can easily obtain the directories of Zip files, including file names, sizes and timestamps.
  • Managed Zlib – The compiled assembly is built on a managed implementation of Zlib, so you can use Zlib compression, too.
