Compressing String

[vtops]

Dear All,

Is there any way to compress\decompress data?

I want to save RTF of richtextboxes into sql database.
the Rtf which i have are over than 300000 characters and the sql Server can't support this size.

It is very important also to decompress the data have been saved in order to show it on the richtextBoxes.


Could you help me please with that?


Thanks in advance

Most people use the open-source SharpZipLib from:

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/

They use a variant of the GPL license, allowing you to call it from your code without any additional restrictions.

Be aware that your column in the database needs to be able to hold binary data.
