注意：此类在 .NET Framework 2.0 版中是新增的。

提供用于压缩和解压缩流的方法和属性。
命名空间:System.IO.Compression
程序集:System（在 system.dll 中）
语法
Visual Basic（声明）
Public Class GZipStream
    Inherits Stream
 Visual Basic（用法）
Dim instance As GZipStream
 
C#
public class GZipStream : Stream
 
C++
public ref class GZipStream : public Stream
 
J#
public class GZipStream extends Stream

备注
此类表示 GZip 数据格式，它使用无损压缩和解压缩文件的行业标准算法。这种格式包括一个检测数据损坏的循环冗余校验值。GZip 数据格式使用的算法与 DeflateStream 类的算法相同，但它可以扩展以使用其他压缩格式。这种格式可以通过不涉及专利使用权的方式轻松实现。gzip 的格式可以从 RFC 1952“GZIP file format specification 4.3（GZIP 文件格式规范 4.3）GZIP file format specification 4.3（GZIP 文件格式规范 4.3）”中获得。此类不能用于压缩大于 4 GB 的文件。

给继承者的说明 当从 GZipStream 继承时，必须重写下列成员：CanSeek、CanWrite 和 CanRead。

下面提供 一个完整的压缩与解压类(downmoon原作 )：
