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

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

// Set the password required for decrypting.
zip.DecryptPassword = "myPassword";

bool success = zip.OpenZip("encrypted.zip");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Locate the file within the Zip to be unzipped into a string variable:
Chilkat.ZipEntry entry = zip.FirstMatchingEntry("*.csv");
if (zip.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine("No matching entry found.");
    return;
}

// lineEndingBehavior:
// 0 = leave unchanged.
// 1 = convert all to bare LF's
// 2 = convert all to CRLF's
int lineEndingBehavior = 0;
string srcCharset = "utf-8";

string strCsv = entry.UnzipToString(lineEndingBehavior,srcCharset);
Debug.WriteLine(strCsv);
