NET library is strong named, it can be installed into the GAC with gacutil.exe. Japanese) independent if compiled as MBCS or UNICODE. NET project support Unicode in paths and filenames (e.g. In the download you find Release versions of CabLib.dll for VS 2003,2005,2008 x32 and 圆4.You can also link statically and the external DLL is not required. Cabinet.dll will be loaded only when it is needed and unloaded afterwards.This project makes use of Microsoft's Cabinet.dll in your System(32) directory, which is part of the operating system since Windows NT/98.Encryption and Decryption is also included in the demo. Both projects come with a demo application which shows how to compress and extract files and embedded CAB resources.A lot of event handlers are called during compression and extraction which allows to interact with the progress (for example filtering specific files).An event handler allows to display the compression / extraction progress in the GUI of your application.The compression can split large CAB files into multiple pieces.
NET you can additionally extract CAB files from a stream. Extraction of CAB files which are embedded in the resources of your Win32 project or.File dates (in either UTC or local time) and file attributes are preserved when compressing / extracting.CAB files can contain trees of subfolders and files.Optional Encryption / Decryption of CAB files.NET project runs on all platforms where the required. Both projects compile on Visual Studio 20.This library can be extended very easily.This library is lightweight and VERY fast.Additionally, CAB reaches a much better compression ratio than ZIP. Many Microsoft installers (like the installer for Internet Explorer or Windows patches) use it. I asked myself why should I search for another open source library (which will again have other bugs) while Windows itself supports CAB archives since the first days? Microsoft's Cabinet.dll (in the System32 directory) is not buggy. Although the bugs have been known for years, the author has not fixed them. But this library is awkward to use and buggy, and so is unusable. If you search the internet for more comfortable compression libraries, you find, for example, which offers ZIP compression. But this is awkward to use and very primitive it can only compress a stream but it is not possible to compress folders containing files and subfolders. NET 1.1 does not offer compression functionality.NET 2.0 offers the System.IO.Compression.GZipStream class. NET programmers get a very versatile library for compression and extraction of Microsoft CAB files.
