Decompress stream without ZipInputStream

[Scott Waye]

Hi,

How do you decompress a stream now that this class is obsolete?  I used to have:

        public static byte[] Decompress(byte[] settings)
        {
            using (var zippedStream = new ZipInputStream(new MemoryStream(settings)))
            {
                return ReadFully(zippedStream);
            }
        }

        public static byte[] ReadFully(System.IO.Stream input)
        {
            var buffer = new byte[16 * 1024];
            using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                int read;
                while ((read = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
                {
                    ms.Write(buffer, 0, read);
                }
                return ms.ToArray();
            }
        }

Is it still ok to use CompressedStream directly and if so how do you create the CompressionSettings as the Method setter is protected?

Thanks,

Scott

Ok, I see.  It should be:

        public static byte[] Decompress(byte[] settings)
        {
            using (var zippedStream = new CompressedStream(new MemoryStream(settings), StreamOperationMode.Read, new DeflateSettings()))
            {
                return ReadFully(zippedStream);
            }
        }
