Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Obtains the uncompressed size of a specific entry available inside a ZIP file session previously opened through the ZIP.Open method or created through the ZIP.Create method.

 

This method should be invoked before using the ZIP.EntryExtractToMemory method in order to understand the exact size of the buffer needed for storing the entry.

As a second feature, this method allows understanding if an entry with a specific name already exists.
