ZipArchive.AddFiles(IEnumerable<String>) Method

Adds files to archive.

Namespace: DevExpress.Compression

Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void AddFiles(
    IEnumerable<string> fileNames
)

VB.NET

Public Sub AddFiles(
    fileNames As IEnumerable(Of String)
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fileNames	IEnumerable<String>	A list of file names which implements the IEnumerable<T><String,> interface.

Remarks

The AddFiles method enables you to batch add files to the archive. The archive path to which the files will be added is constructed from the file path by discarding the root path component, i.e., the file path “C:\Temp\test.txt” will be the “Temp/test.txt”.

This example recursively enumerates all files that have a .txt extension, reads each line of the file, and if a line contains the string “DevExpress”, the file is added to archive.
