What platforms does Rebex consider "legacy"?
Legacy platforms are platforms that are no longer covered by our Standard Support but have not yet reached End of Life. Legacy Editions of Rebex components targeting these platforms are available as separate products.
What is the difference between a Legacy Edition and standard edition?
- Standard editions of Rebex components only include binaries and support for platforms covered by Standard Support.
- Legacy Editions only include binaries and support for specific legacy platforms (such as .NET CF 3.5/3.9).
using Rebex.IO.Compression;
// open a ZIP archive
using (var zip = new ZipArchive(@"c:\data\archive.zip"))
{
// set password
zip.Password = "TopSecret";
// add all text documents to the ZIP archive
zip.Add(@"c:\data\*.txt");
}
Why Rebex ZIP?
File and directory operations made easy
Add or Extract a file from/to a filesystem or memory. Rename and move files. Check existing files. Or perform other single-file ZIP operations.
Or simply process many files at once. Add or extract whole directory structures. Use wildcards or file sets to specify which files to process.
Need to work with directories? List their content, create or rename them. You can even delete non-empty folders recursively.
Overwrite or rename files using a single line of code. Monitor progress or handle problems with events.
Raw compression and decompression streams
Core of the ZIP format is the DEFLATE compression algorithm. You can use Rebex ZIP's compression and decompression streams to deflate or inflate data directly. GZIP and ZLIB formats are also supported as well.
Many time-tested features
Rebex ZIP is a mature and stable component maintained since 2010. We have been adding new features year after year, inspired by user feedback. For example:
- Compatible with WinZip, PKZIP, Info-ZIP (and many others).
- Password protection (legacy ZIP 2.0 encryption method; WinZip-compatible AES‑128, AES‑192, AES‑256 encryption methods).
- Large file support (over 4 GB).
- Multi-file operations.
- Multithreaded compression.
- Progress monitoring.
- Stream or file based operation.
- Extract data to anything.
- Recursive directory tree operations.
- Wildcards support for adding, extracting and deleting files.
- Advanced file filtering using the FileSet class.
- Thread-safe.
- FIPS 140-2 compliant mode.
- Support for asynchronous operations including .NET 4.x-style task-based API.
- Custom compression and decompression algorithm implementation - no dependency on any open-source or third-party compression library (unlike many others).
