How to use ICSharpCode.ZipLib with stream?

Question

I'm very sorry for the conservative title and my question itself,but I'm lost.

The samples provided with ICsharpCode.ZipLib doesn't include what I'm searching for. I want to decompress a byte[] by putting it in InflaterInputStream(ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.Compression.Streams.InflaterInputStream)

I found a decompress function ,but it doesn't work.

    public static byte[] Decompress(byte[] Bytes)
    {
        ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.Compression.Streams.InflaterInputStream stream =
            new ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.Compression.Streams.InflaterInputStream(new MemoryStream(Bytes));
        MemoryStream memory = new MemoryStream();
        byte[] writeData = new byte[4096];
        int size;

        while (true)
        {
            size = stream.Read(writeData, 0, writeData.Length);
            if (size > 0)
            {
                memory.Write(writeData, 0, size);
            }
            else break;
        }
        stream.Close();
        return memory.ToArray();
    }

It throws an exception at line(size = stream.Read(writeData, 0, writeData.Length);) saying it has a invalid header.

My question is not how to fix the function,this function is not provided with the library,I just found it googling.My question is,how to decompress the same way the function does with InflaterStream,but without exceptions.

Thanks and again - sorry for the conservative question.

the code in lucene is very nice.

public static byte[] Compress(byte[] input) {
        // Create the compressor with highest level of compression  
        Deflater compressor = new Deflater();
        compressor.SetLevel(Deflater.BEST_COMPRESSION);

        // Give the compressor the data to compress  
        compressor.SetInput(input);
        compressor.Finish();

        /* 
         * Create an expandable byte array to hold the compressed data. 
         * You cannot use an array that's the same size as the orginal because 
         * there is no guarantee that the compressed data will be smaller than 
         * the uncompressed data. 
         */
        MemoryStream bos = new MemoryStream(input.Length);

        // Compress the data  
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        while (!compressor.IsFinished) {
            int count = compressor.Deflate(buf);
            bos.Write(buf, 0, count);
        }

        // Get the compressed data  
        return bos.ToArray();
    }

    public static byte[] Uncompress(byte[] input) {
        Inflater decompressor = new Inflater();
        decompressor.SetInput(input);

        // Create an expandable byte array to hold the decompressed data  
        MemoryStream bos = new MemoryStream(input.Length);

        // Decompress the data  
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        while (!decompressor.IsFinished) {
            int count = decompressor.Inflate(buf);
            bos.Write(buf, 0, count);
        }

        // Get the decompressed data  
        return bos.ToArray();
    }
