I need a little help with saving a DataSet as an XML file directly to a ZipFile that is created with the following code. I'm saving the as DataSet.WriteXML(Stream) and

ZipFile = New DiskFile(NewZipFileDialog.FileName)
If ZipFile.Exists Then
ZipFile.Delete()
End If
ZipFile.Create()

I can save the Dataset as XML to a file and then copy it but I would like to skip that step and write it to a stream and save the stream directly into the ZipFile, but I'm getting a bit lost.

Thanks

Bill

 

 

I suggest you use Real-Time Zip for .NET, which will permit you to write your stream directly into a zip file.

You can find a sample on how to do this by going to Start -> All Programs -> Xceed Components -> Our Components In Action -> Xceed FileSystem Snippet Explorer.

Look at the "8. Real-Time Zip capabilities" topic.

There is also the "Task-Based Help" topic in the documentation that gives examples on how to use it.

What was the first version to Data Manipulation Suite to include Real time zip?  I have the 2007 version and I don't think that it is included.

Real-Time Zip for .NET was introduced in november 2007, so if you bought the product before, then it is not included in your suite.
