C# Example: Compress %TEMP% Files Programmatically

The snippet below illustrates the basic API workflow for compressing a %TEMP% file in C#, including creating an Archive object, adding an entry, and writing the final ZIP output to a stream.

Compress TEMP file via .NET:

    var dir = "full directory path";
    using (var arch = new Archive())
    {
    arch.CreateEntry("filename.mbox", dir+"file.mbox");
    arch.Save(dir+"archived_result.zip");
    }

FAQ

Can I compress multiple TEMP files into a single ZIP archive using C#

1. Yes. Aspose.ZIP for .NET allows you to load and compress multiple TEMP files by adding each file as an entry to the Archive object. You can combine individual files, folders, or streams into a single ZIP archive through a straightforward C# workflow.

Does Aspose.ZIP for .NET reduce the original quality of TEMP files?

2. No. Aspose.ZIP performs lossless compression, meaning that the content and quality of your TEMP files remain unchanged. The library only reduces file size by applying efficient archive compression algorithms without altering the actual data inside the file.

Can I password-protect ZIP archives that contain TEMP files?

3. Yes. The library supports password protection and AES encryption, allowing you to securely package sensitive TEMP files. You can specify encryption settings when creating entries or during the archive-generation process.
