ZipArchive.AddFile(String) Method

Creates a zip file item for the specified file and adds it to the archive.

Namespace: DevExpress.Compression

Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Document.Processor

Declaration

C#

public ZipFileItem AddFile(
    string fileName
)

VB.NET

Public Function AddFile(
    fileName As String
) As ZipFileItem

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fileName	String	A string that is the path to the file.

Returns

Type	Description
ZipFileItem	A ZipFileItem that is the file item in the archive.

Remarks

This method adds the specified file to the archive. The path in the archive is constructed the following way:

• For rooted paths - the path is the path to the root;
• For other paths - the path is relative to the file path.

For example, the file “C:\Temp\AAA\BBB\winnipooh.txt” is added to the archive as a ZipFileItem with the ZipItem.Name property set to “Temp/AAA/BBB/winnipooh.txt” (archive path) and a ZipFileItem.FileName property set to “C:\Temp\AAA\BBB\winnipooh.txt” (file path).

This code snippet demonstrates how to create a new archive and add files with .txt and .docx extensions to the archive root. The ZipArchive.Save method compresses data and saves the archive to a file.
