Compress(Byte[],Int32,Int32) Method


Xceed.Compression.Formats Assembly > Xceed.Compression.Formats Namespace > LZMACompressedStream Class > Compress Method : Compress(Byte[],Int32,Int32) Method
The array of bytes to compress. A maximum of count bytes are taken from this array and compressed.
The byte offset in buffer at which to begin taking the data to compress.
The maximum number of bytes to be taken from buffer.
Compresses an array of bytes using the LZMA compression format specifying the amount of bytes to compress.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function Compress( _
   ByVal buffer() As Byte, _
   ByVal offset As Integer, _
   ByVal count As Integer _
) As Byte()
'Usage
 
Dim buffer() As Byte
Dim offset As Integer
Dim count As Integer
Dim value() As Byte
 
value = LZMACompressedStream.Compress(buffer, offset, count)
public static byte[] Compress( 
   byte[] buffer,
   int offset,
   int count
)

Parameters

buffer
The array of bytes to compress. A maximum of count bytes are taken from this array and compressed.
offset
The byte offset in buffer at which to begin taking the data to compress.
count
The maximum number of bytes to be taken from buffer.

Return Value

An array of bytes containing the compressed data. Can be empty.
Remarks
If the data to compress is not a byte array, it will need to be converted into a byte array before it can be compressed. This can be done, in the case of a string, using the method of the System.Text.Encoding class.
Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
