How to do Split/Merge and Zip/Unzip files using Xceed Software

How to do Split and Zip files using Xceed Software

If you have a requirement as below

1) If file size > 10 MB then first Zip the file then split into selected size (Ex: 10MB, 20MB 50Mb)

And give option to download those file one by one.

2) If file size is < 10MB then Zip the file and popup download dialog box.

You can use Xceed Component for this kind of requirement (www.xceed.com).

This will provide XceedZipLib.dll with License key you can use that in your C#.net code.

Overview

Xceed component will give you spitted files in the .Z01 extension.

For example if your file size is 30 MB and you want to split into 10 MB then this will give you 3 files

1) Filename.Z02 2) FileName.Z03 3) FileName.zip

After this you need to rename .Zip to .Z01 and Last file .Z03 to .zip.

Now you have file 1) Filename.Z01 2) FileName.Z02 3) FileName.zip (Save into application server)

Users can download these three files in (all files must be in one location/folder) their location and

Using WinZip 8.0 and above they can unzip FileName.zip file.If you unzip this it will merge all files into one

User can see these files to download one by one as below

Filename.Z01

Filename.Z02

Filename. zip
