Data Compression(deflate) using VB6
-
hi I am not able to find the exact meaning of data compression algorithm(i.e deflate). is it any way related to data encryption or just creating an archive file? i have to implement this using the VB6. so please suggest me the best method to do that. Kind Regards Sandy

:confused: Are you working with data compression or data encryption?

The best way to do it is to look for a component that will do it for you. Google results[^] for "vb6 data compression .zip". Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

Data compression is to make the data smaller, reducing the size in memory or in a file. Data encryption is securing the data so unauthorized people cannot view the data. You can have both work together. For example, compress the data first, and then encrypt the compressed data. To undo the action I've just mentioned, you'd then decrypt the data and then uncompress the data for viewing, processing, etc. There are plently of compression libraries that can be googled and articles on this site. Hope this helps, Paul
