Ionic Zip Library v1.9.1.6 CheckZipPassword Method (zipFileName, password)

Verify the password on a zip file.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public static bool CheckZipPassword(
	string zipFileName,
	string password
)

Public Shared Function CheckZipPassword ( _
	zipFileName As String, _
	password As String _
) As Boolean

public:
static bool CheckZipPassword(
	String^ zipFileName, 
	String^ password
)

Parameters

zipFileName (String): The filename to of the zip file to fix.

password (String): The password to check.

Return Value

a bool indicating whether the password matches.

Remarks

Keep in mind that passwords in zipfiles are applied to zip entries, not to the entire zip file. So testing a zipfile for a particular password doesn't work in the general case. On the other hand, it's often the case that a single password will be used on all entries in a zip file. This method works for that case.

There is no way to check a password without doing the decryption. So this code decrypts and extracts the given zipfile into Null
