Create file

The following example shows you how to create simple compound file with two streams.

C# example

using System;
using Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CompoundFile file = new CompoundFile();

            byte[] descriptionBuffer = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("File description");
            byte[] dataBuffer = new byte[100000];

            Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream descriptionStream = new Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream("description", descriptionBuffer);
            Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream dataStream = new Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream("data", dataBuffer);

            file.Root.DirectoryEntries.Add(descriptionStream);
            file.Root.DirectoryEntries.Add(dataStream);

            file.Save("c:\\temp\\file1.bin", true);
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage

Namespace Sample
    Class Module1
        Shared Sub Main(ByVal args As String())

            Dim file As New CompoundFile()

            Dim descriptionBuffer As Byte() = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("File description")
            Dim dataBuffer As Byte() = New Byte(99999) {}

            Dim descriptionStream As New Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream("description", descriptionBuffer)
            Dim dataStream As New Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream("data", dataBuffer)

            file.Root.DirectoryEntries.Add(descriptionStream)
            file.Root.DirectoryEntries.Add(dataStream)

            file.Save("c:\temp\file1.bin", True)

        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace
