Can't zip nested folders

Can't zip nested folders

• Mestreechteneer

  FYI.

  string SomewhereYouWantToZip = "Pictures";

  ZipOutputStream s = new ZipOutputStream(SomewhereYouWantToZip);
  s.SetLevel(6); // 0 - store only to 9 - means best compression
  ZipFolder(SomewhereYouWantToZip, SomewhereYouWantToZip, s);

  Hi jacky, thanks for the example,however, are you using the ICSharpCode dll or the java.util.zip
  
  Another question, when i intially call the method Do I pass in the root folders into the method >

  I'm using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll

  when i intially call the method
  just call the function when you want to zip folder, the function will loop to get all folders and files inside the root folder where you pass in.
  P.S. you need to declare the ZipOutputStream before call the method.

  Do I pass in the root folders into the method
  yes, just call

  ZipOutputStream s = new ZipOutputStream(SomewhereYouWantToZip);
  s.SetLevel(6); // 0 - store only to 9 - means best compression
  ZipFolder(SomewhereYouWantToZip, SomewhereYouWantToZip, s);

  hope it can help you.

  Actually, if you are using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib you can download the sample in their website, there has a sample project called CreateZipFile, you can reference that project. and just modify the zip file part to the code what I post before.

  Sorry Jacky,
  
  however the ZipOutPutStream() requires a System.IO.Stream path to be passed in and not a string.

  What happens if at the end of the basecase i need to zip additional files
  
  given the structure
  
  Pictures/Family/25102005_Outing.jpg
  Pictures/Family/26102005_BBQ.jpg
  
  What i want to achieve is 1 zip file created and the final Family folder has the 2 photos.

  sorry, the thing should be.

  string SomewhereYouWantToZip = "Pictures";
  string TheZipFilePath = "Somewhere";

  ZipOutputStream s = new ZipOutputStream(File.Create(TheZipFilePath));
  s.SetLevel(6); // 0 - store only to 9 - means best compression
  ZipFolder(SomewhereYouWantToZip, SomewhereYouWantToZip, s);

  Sorry for the mistake...

  Define a new ZipEntry using the root folder

  and recursive loop the folder and file under the folder and add it to the ZipOutputStream

  public void ZipFolder(string RootFolder, string CurrentFolder, ZipOutputStream zStream)
  {
   string[] SubFolders = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(CurrentFolder);
   foreach (string Folder in SubFolder)
   {
    ZipFolder(RootFolder, Folder, zStream);
   }

   ZipEntry entry;
   entry = new ZipEntry(CurrentFolder.Substring(RootFolder.Length) + "/");
   entry.DateTime = DateTime.Now;

   zStream.PutNextEntry(entry);

   //Start loop files under CurrentFolder
   //End
  }
