B bamelyan Jul 3, 2009 #3 thanks for quick response. what's the expected behavior of GZipStream if i try to decompress a stream that is not compressed?

I think one of two will happen: * if the data just happens to be a valid GZIP format then you will get absolute garbage * else (and that is by far the most likely) then you will get a InvalidDataException Arne
