Constructors
SevenZipArchive(SevenZipEntrySettings)
Initializes a new instance of the Aspose.Zip.SevenZip.SevenZipArchive class with optional settings for its entries.
public SevenZipArchive(SevenZipEntrySettings newEntrySettings = null)Parameters
newEntrySettings SevenZipEntrySettings
Compression and encryption settings used for newly added Aspose.Zip.SevenZip.SevenZipArchiveEntry items. If not specified, LZMA compression without encryption would be used.
Examples
The following example shows how to compress a single file with default settings: LZMA compression without encryption.
using (FileStream sevenZipFile = File.Open("archive.7z", FileMode.Create))
{
using (var archive = new SevenZipArchive())
{
archive.CreateEntry("data.bin", "file.dat");
archive.Save(sevenZipFile);
}
