See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to verify the password for an encrypted or password-protected zip archive. C#

bool success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Zip zip = new Chilkat.Zip();

// To verify a password for a Zip, the Zip must be opened:
success = zip.OpenZip("myProtected.zip");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Set the password to be verified:
zip.DecryptPassword = "secret";

bool passwordOk;
passwordOk = zip.VerifyPassword();
if (passwordOk == true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Password is correct.");
}
else {
    Debug.WriteLine("Password is incorrect.");
}

zip.CloseZip();
