System.IO.Compression.ZipFile .NET 4.5 output zip in not suitable for Linux/Mac/Java

Question

While using .NET System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory class the outcome zip is badly extracted on system with forward-slash directory separator.

Answer 1

To overcome this problem a workaround exists:

    class MyEncoder : UTF8Encoding
    {
        public MyEncoder()
        {

        }
        public override byte[] GetBytes(string s)
        {
            s = s.Replace("\\", "/");
            return base.GetBytes(s);
       }
    }
    System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory("C:/ABC", "C:/tmp/ABC.zip", CompressionLevel.Fastest, false, new MyEncoder());
