Ungzip Base64 String

See more Gzip Examples

Suppose you have a gzip in base64 representation that contains a text file, such as XML. This example shows how to decompress and access the string. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim gzip As New Chilkat.Gzip

Dim gzipBase64 As String = "H4sIAAAAAAAE ... X6aZjXO3EwAA"

Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
success = bd.AppendEncoded(gzipBase64,"base64")

success = gzip.UncompressBd(bd)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(gzip.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim strXml As String = bd.GetString("utf-8")
Debug.WriteLine("XML:")
Debug.WriteLine(strXml)
