'Usage
 
Dim instance As ZipWriter
Dim itemData As Stream
Dim buffer() As Byte
Dim value As Long
 
value = instance.WriteItemData(itemData, buffer)

public long WriteItemData( 
   Stream itemData,
   byte[] buffer
)

Parameters

itemData

A System.IO.Stream object.

buffer

An array of System.Byte to be used as the buffer in the data copy loop from itemData to ZipWriter.

Return Value

This method allows you to supply your own buffer for the loop that drives the copy operation from the specified System.IO.Stream to ZipWriter. It prevents ZipWriter from allocating a temporary buffer to perform copy loop.

The specified stream must support reading. It is not necessary for the stream to support seeking or writing. The specified stream is read to using the specified buffer until the end of the itemData is reached.

The method does not close specified stream.

The entire space of buffer will be used to read itemData.

This method is equivalent to calling the WriteItemData(Stream,Byte[],Int32,Int32) Method with 0 and buffer.Length as parameter values.

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
