The 32-bit CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) on the contents of the ZipEntry.


You probably don't need to concern yourself with this. It is used internally by DotNetZip to verify files or streams upon extraction.
The value is a 32-bit CRC using 0xEDB88320 for the polynomial. This is the same CRC-32 used in PNG, MPEG-2, and other protocols and formats. It is a read-only property; when creating a Zip archive, the CRC for each entry is set only after a call to Save() on the containing ZipFile. When reading an existing zip file, the value of this property reflects the stored CRC for the entry.
