CompressionMode Enumeration

Note: This enumeration is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Specifies whether to compress or decompress the underlying stream.

Namespace: System.IO.Compression
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

'Declaration
Public Enumeration CompressionMode
'Usage
Dim instance As CompressionMode

public enum CompressionMode
public enum CompressionMode

 Member nameDescription
CompressCompresses the underlying stream. 
DecompressDecompresses the underlying stream. 

This enumeration is used with the GZipStream and DeflateStream classes.

The following code example uses the CompressionMode enumeration with the GZipStream class to compress and decompress a file.
