Xceed.Compression Assembly > Xceed.Compression Namespace : CompressedStream Class
Pass-through stream that applies compression and decompression to an inner stream.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Class CompressedStream 

   Inherits System.IO.Stream

   Implements System.IDisposable 
'Usage
 
Dim instance As CompressedStream
public class CompressedStream : System.IO.Stream, System.IDisposable  
Remarks

Compression is applied to data being written to the stream, and decompression is performed when data is read from the stream.

The compression engine itself is not built into the CompressedStream class. Instead, user-supplied Compressor and Decompressor classes are used.

It is possible to implement your own compression algorithm by implementing classes derived from Compressor and Decompressor.

By default, closing the CompressedStream  will also close the inner stream. This behavior can be modified by setting the Transient property to true%.
