Hi,

 I need to create a zip file of a directory which contains some directories and some files use unicode chars.

 CreateZip is a good starting point because it can be recursive, but i don't know how to use this method with the IsUnicodeText property.

For doing some tests, I have make the following code :

zip.UseZip64 = UseZip64.Off;

 This one has generated 140 zip files, but none of them had the correct chars (chinese).

 So I really need a recursive method that use IsUnicodeText for folder and file names.

 Thanks.

Hi,

FastZip has an EntryFactory property which is by default a ZipEntryFactory.  You can set the IsUnicodeText property for this factory and all should be fine.

Hi John,

It seems that I can't do anything with this EntryFactory, do you how should I use it ?

For now I have extend the class FastZip and add a property "UseUnicode" but this is a temporary solution, because of the licence we can't do that (we use it in commercial product). Tell me if you want the modified code (about 6 lines :p).

Regards,

Dominique

Hi,

It can be pretty basic.

            FastZip zippy = new FastZip();
            ZipEntryFactory factory = new ZipEntryFactory();
            factory.IsUnicodeText = true;
            zippy.EntryFactory = factory;

You could also typecast the initial factory and set it directly if you are so inclined.

NOTE You can modify the library even though your application is closed source.  The requirement is that whatever mods you make to the library are made available.Not such a big deal.

Thanks, that's working great.
