SevenZipExtractor

C# wrapper for 7z.dll (x86 and x64 included). Due to a compatibility issue with "Source Generated" COM Interop, this fork only works with .NET 8.
This fork has been modified to work with NativeAOT and ILTrimming on .NET 8. This fork also adds other features such as:

• Cancellable extraction
• Progress event
• Latest 7z.dll library (Currently: v23.01)

However, all the credits for the initial works have been done by the original creator: Alexander Selishchev

This fork is unfortunately still unavailable on NuGet but if you prefer one, please refer to the original version here:

Examples

Extract all

CancellationTokenSource tokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
using (ArchiveFile archiveFile = new ArchiveFile(@"Archive.ARJ"))
{
    archiveFile.Extract("Output", tokenSource.Token); // extract all with cancellable control using token
}

Extract to file or stream

using (ArchiveFile archiveFile = new ArchiveFile(@"Archive.ARJ"))
{
    foreach (Entry entry in archiveFile.Entries)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(entry.FileName);
        
        // extract to file
        entry.Extract(entry.FileName);
        
        // extract to stream
        MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
        entry.Extract(memoryStream);
    }
}

Guess archive format from files without extensions

using (ArchiveFile archiveFile = new ArchiveFile(@"c:\random-archive"))
{
    archiveFile.Extract("Output"); 
}

Guess archive format from streams

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create ("http://www.contoso.com/file.aspx?id=12345");
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

using (ArchiveFile archiveFile = new ArchiveFile(response.GetResponseStream())
{
    archiveFile.Extract("Output"); 
}
