Hi Folks,
I'm using this code I found online to decompress a large file. It works fine when I try it with a small file i.e. a 5MB mp3 (1.7MB compressed) but when I try and use it with a 250MB file (27MB compressed), the newly created output file is the same size as the input compressed file (AFAIK, it is probably a copy). I have tried this on a machine with 256MB of RAM and a machine with 4GB of RAM...
protected void Decompress(string filePath,string fileout)
{
FileStream sourceFile = File.OpenRead(filePath);
FileStream destinationFile = File.Create(fileout);
GZipStream unzip = null;
byte[] buffer = new byte[sourceFile.Length];
try
{
unzip = new GZipStream(sourceFile, CompressionMode.Decompress, false);
int numberOfBytes = unzip.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
destinationFile.Write(buffer, 0, numberOfBytes);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
sourceFile.Close();
destinationFile.Close();
unzip.Close();
}
}
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
