Question about Compression technique in C#

narayana venkata

Hello,

I converted VB logic into C# but I got a performance issue with C# program. Previous logic (VB) used Microsoft. Deployment. Compression. ZIP library for Archiving the files. I used the system. IO. Compression & Microsoft. Deployment. Compression libraries in C#. Now, my program is taking 3 more minutes than older program (VB). Still wondering what went wrong. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Hey

I cannot tell much about the Microsoft.Deployement.Compression but yeah System.IO.Compression will not going to stand as per your expectation because these libraries are build to create zip files ( in today's world this is MUCH lower compression technique).

You can take advantage of some advance libraries like 7z or rar that runs on commandline and provides much better result.

You can also try for some .net libraries like dotnetzip at
