I am attempting to create a Save/Load class that has the option for saving & load files compressed files. Below is what I have so far. Stepping through it seems to work just fine, except that I get a "The magic number in GZip header is not correct" exception. I don't understand how this can be as I am checking to make sure that the number is there before I pass it over, and I have verified via an external program that it is a GZip file.
Any assistance in finding out where I went wrong would be appreciated. Constructive criticism of my code is always welcome - Thanks!
public static class SaveLoad
{
public static void Save(string fileName, object savefrom, bool compress)
{
FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
if (compress)
{
GZipStream compressor = new GZipStream(stream, CompressionMode.Compress);
formatter.Serialize(compressor, savefrom);
compressor.Close();
}
else { formatter.Serialize(stream, savefrom); }
stream.Close();
}
public static object Load(string fileName)
{
object loadedObject = null;
try
{
FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open);
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
if (stream.Length > 4)
{
byte[] data = new byte[4];
stream.Read(data, 0, 4);
if (BitConverter.ToUInt16(data, 0) == 0x8b1f) //GZIP_LEAD_BYTES == 0x8b1f
{
GZipStream decompressor = new GZipStream(stream, CompressionMode.Decompress);
loadedObject = formatter.Deserialize(decompressor); //Exception
decompressor.Close();
}
else { loadedObject = formatter.Deserialize(stream); }
}
stream.Close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Logger.StaticLog.AddEvent(new Logger.lEvent(null, Logger.lEvent.EventTypes.Warning, "Failed to load file: " + fileName, e)
{
SendingObject = "SaveLoad"
});
Logger.StaticLog.WriteLog();
throw;
}
return loadedObject;
}
}
It seems that you read the magic number before passing the stream to decompressor (which won't read the magic number then, because you've already read it).
Use stream.Seek(0,SeekOrigin.Begin)
before you decompress.
