extract 7zip in C# code
I need use 7zip in C#. Without console, just with 7zSharp.dll ? + I find some data here
http://7zsharp.codeplex.com/releases/view/10305 ,
but I don't know how to use it( - I could create .bat(.cmd) file, but I need throught dll file) Exactly: I need extract .7z file with key)
Download the standalone console version from 7zip.com and add it to your project.
You need those 3 Files added in the project:
- 7za.exe
- 7za.dll
- 7zxa.dll
Don't forget to say Copy to Output Directory in it's preferences.
Extract an archive:
public void ExtractFile(string sourceArchive, string destination)
{
string zPath = "7za.exe"; //add to proj and set CopyToOuputDir
try
{
ProcessStartInfo pro = new ProcessStartInfo();
pro.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
pro.FileName = zPath;
pro.Arguments = string.Format("x \"{0}\" -y -o\"{1}\"", sourceArchive, destination);
Process x = Process.Start(pro);
x.WaitForExit();
}
catch (System.Exception Ex) {
//handle error
}
}
Create an archive:
public void CreateZip(string sourceName, string targetArchive)
{
ProcessStartInfo p = new ProcessStartInfo();
p.FileName = "7za.exe";
p.Arguments = string.Format("a -tgzip \"{0}\" \"{1}\" -mx=9", targetArchive, sourceName);
p.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process x = Process.Start(p);
x.WaitForExit();
}
The authors of 7zip provide the LZMA SDK and good documentation which should be able to achieve what you want. The SDK includes C# code capable of compression / decompression.
Another option would be to use a something like C# (.NET) Interface for 7-Zip Archive DLLs
UPDATE: Another user asked a similar question here: How do I create 7-Zip archives with .NET? The answer has several of the same links I provided and a few more.
