Dot Net Code Snippets

In previous post we seen how to compress the file this will helpful when the file is large you can
compress the file.

Now we will see how to Decompress the file

Button_Click event.

DecompressFile(Server.MapPath("~/Decompressed/FindEmai_onTextfile.zip"),Server.MapPath("~/Decompressed/FindEmai_onTextfile.txt"));

Here i just swap the filename so it may confuse so use some different path(Folder) or filename

Decompress Method

public static void DecompressFile(string sourceFileName, string destinationFileName)
    {

        FileStream outStream;

        FileStream inStream;

        //Check if the source file exist.          

        if (File.Exists(sourceFileName))
        {

            //Read teh input file

            inStream = File.OpenRead(sourceFileName);

            //Check if the destination file exist else create once

            outStream = File.Open(destinationFileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);

            //Now create a byte array to hold the contents of the file

            //Now increase the filecontent size more since the compressed file

            //size will always be less then the actuak file.

            byte[] fileContents = new byte[(inStream.Length * 100)];

            //Read the file and decompress

            GZipStream zipStream = new GZipStream(inStream, CompressionMode.Decompress, false);

            //Read the contents to this byte array

            int totalBytesRead = zipStream.Read(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);

            outStream.Write(fileContents, 0, totalBytesRead);

            //Now close all the streams.

            zipStream.Close();

            inStream.Close();

            outStream.Close();

        }

    }

Asp.net has inbuilt with Compression ie: derive from the Class

using System.IO.Compression;

There are two compression derived from this namespace.
1) Gzipstream
2) Deflate stream

Deflate seems to be must faster than the Gzipstream but Deflate doesn't uncompress other formats , but Gzipstream decompress the other files like winzip, winrar .

Now we are going to see Gzipstream it has a class which contains filename and compression mode , Compression mode has two values Compress and Decompress.

Button_ClickEvent

      CompressFile(Server.MapPath("~/Decompressed/FindEmai_onTextfile.txt"),Server.MapPath("~/Decompressed/FindEmai_onTextfile.zip"));

Here you have to give two parameter first one is Sourcefilename to be compressed , second is path where you have to place the compressed file. it will check if the file exists the compressed file has been placed there, else it will create on the fly.

Method definition

 public static void CompressFile(string sourceFileName, string destinationFileName)
    {

        FileStream outStream;

        FileStream inStream;

        //Check if the source file exist.          

        if (File.Exists(sourceFileName))
        {

            //Read teh input file

             //Check if the destination file exist else create once

            outStream = File.Open(destinationFileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate);

            GZipStream zipStream = new GZipStream(outStream, CompressionMode.Compress);

             //Now create a byte array to hold the contents of the file

            byte[] fileContents = new byte[inStream.Length];

            //Read the contents to this byte array

            inStream.Read(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);

            zipStream.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);

             //Now close all the streams.

            zipStream.Close();

            inStream.Close();

            outStream.Close();

        }

    }

This error cause while you are working with .net1.1.1 ie" Sytstem.Web.Mail; if we send the email to multiple person we use like this

string toemail = "xxxxx@yahoo.com;yyyyyy@gmail.com;zzzzzz@hotmail.com;";

so this works there because we used semicolon to separate the emailID

But in .net 2.0 System.Net.Mail

if we use the same way (ie: using semicolon to differentiate the emailID) it will cause to give this error.

"Specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address"

so the modified string

string toemail = "xxxxx@yahoo.com,yyyyyy@gmail.com,zzzzzz@hotmail.com";
