SfxPrefix Property

Gets or sets the SFX data that will be prefixed to the begining of the zip file.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property SfxPrefix As SfxPrefix

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ZipArchive
Dim value As SfxPrefix
 
instance.SfxPrefix = value
 
value = instance.SfxPrefix

public SfxPrefix SfxPrefix {get; set;}

Property Value

A reference to a SfxPrefix object representing the SFX data to prefixed to the begining of the zip file.

Remarks

In order to create a self-extracting zip file, the SfxPrefix property must be set to an instance of the Xceed.Zip.Sfx.XceedSfxPrefix class. The XceedSfxPrefix class allows you to specify the 16 or 32 bit self-extractor binary which will be used to configure and create self-extracting zip files.

If the ZipArchive object represents a regular zip file, setting the SfxPrefix property to a XceedSfxPrefix object will automatically convert the zip file to a self-extracting zip file. If the ZipArchive object represents a self-extracting zip file, setting the SfxPrefix property to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) will convert it to a regular zip file.

This property is the equivalent of the SfxBinaryModule property of the ActiveX version of Xceed Zip.

The Xceed Self-Extractor binaries do not support creating split self-extracting zip files.

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
