Specifies values that indicate whether a compression operation emphasizes speed or compression size.
public enum class CompressionLevel
public enum CompressionLevel
type CompressionLevel =
Public Enum CompressionLevel
The compression operation should optimally balance compression speed and output size.
Fastest 1The compression operation should complete as quickly as possible, even if the resulting file is not optimally compressed.
NoCompression 2No compression should be performed on the file.
SmallestSize 3The compression operation should create output as small as possible, even if the operation takes a longer time to complete.
Compression operations usually involve a tradeoff between the speed and the effectiveness of compression. You use the CompressionLevel enumeration to indicate which factor is more important in your development scenario: the time to complete the compression operation or the size of the compressed file. These values do not correspond to specific compression levels; the object that implements compression determines how to handle them.
The following methods of the DeflateStream, GZipStream, ZipArchive, ZipFile, and ZipFileExtensions classes include a parameter named compressionLevel
that lets you specify the compression level:
The following example shows how to set the compression level when creating a zip archive by using the ZipFile class.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Compression;
namespace ConsoleApplication
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string startPath = @"c:\example\start";
string zipPath = @"c:\example\result.zip";
ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath, CompressionLevel.Fastest, true);
}
}
}
Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.Compression
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim startPath As String = "c:\example\start"
Dim zipPath As String = "c:\example\result.zip"
ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath, CompressionLevel.Fastest, True)
End Sub
End Module
