Xceed Real-Time Zip for Windows Phone lets developers add zip and unzip archive capabilities to any Windows Phone application, quickly and easily, using either Silverlight for Windows Phone or XNA Framework. It’s the first professional solution for zipping and unzipping within Microsoft’s latest mobile app platform.

Because it compresses and uncompresses files without resorting to intermediate memory storage or temporary files, it’s the ideal solution for use with mobile devices, which have only a fraction of the memory/storage of PCs. And of course, using compression will help make your mobile app easier on data plans.

Xceed Real-Time Zip for Windows Phone delivers great flexibility for your compression/decompression needs, such as unzipping user-provided or remotely hosted Zip files, whose data the application can then consume or send elsewhere over the network (using FTP, HTTP, WCF, etc.); or zipping user-selected files or data created by the application based on user input, and then sending the zipped file over the network.

Easy to use and needing just a few methods to perform powerful streaming Zip compression/extraction, Xceed Real-Time Zip for Windows Phone supports the BZip2, BWT, Deflate, Deflate64, PPMd compression methods. AES encryption and decryption are supported for maximum security and WinZip compatibility, as is the LZMA compression method that is part of WinZip; UTF-8 character encoding provides improved international character support. Events and properties let you monitor and control the zip/unzip operations.

Written in 100% managed C# code to offer developers creating Windows Phone software high performance and flexibility, this lightweight library includes sample applications and comprehensive Visual Studio-style documentation.
