Yes, .Net 4.5 now supports more Zip functionality.
Here is a code example based on your description.
In your project, right click on the References folder and add a reference to System.IO.Compression
using System.IO.Compression;
Stream data = new MemoryStream(); // The original data
Stream unzippedEntryStream; // Unzipped data from a file in the archive
ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(data);
foreach (ZipArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries)
{
if(entry.FullName.EndsWith(".txt", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
unzippedEntryStream = entry.Open(); // .Open will return a stream
// Process entry data here
}
}
Hope this helps.
