Answer 1

I have the same problem, but in my case the problem is with the compression part and not with the decompression.

During the compression I need use the "Using" statament with the Stream and the ZipArchive objects too. The "Using" statament will Close the archive properly and I can decompress it without any problem.

The working code in my case in VB.Net:

Using zipSteramToCreate As New MemoryStream()
    Using archive As New ZipArchive(zipSteramToCreate, ZipArchiveMode.Create)
        ' Add entry...
    End Using

    ' Return the zip byte array for example:
    Return zipSteramToCreate.ToArray
End Using
