I need to be able to give the user an option to upload a zipfile, which my Module would store in a temporary location, unzip it, work with the files and when done, delete all the files and the original zip.

Are there any samples out there to reference?  I looked all over, can't find any.

I sense a disturbance in the logic here.

To let the user upload a file (zipped or de not) you go the usual way of uploading a file and saving it.
The zip file (now on the server) can be unzipped .. once again with some known techniques.

Now let's say you let the user "open" that document (ie a link) this document get opened on the user's machine (client side)
There's no way (AFIK) that the server can know the document on the client have been saved and it must update / overwrite the document on the server.

Unless I understood you wrong of course.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood my request.  I am relatively new to working with DNN Module creation.  I come from a VB.Net programming background, and and refreshing my ASP.Net knowledge.  What I asked for was sample code or directions on how to upload a file to the server, unzip the file on the server, use the files on the server, then delete the files off the server. Unfortunatly telling me to "go the usual way of uploading a file and saving it" leaves me with the same question...How? The "some known techniques" you mentioned is what I am looking for.

After deconstructing some of the source code to the original DNN site, I was able to find some semblance of code that guided me in the process... However, the INPUT object which browses for the file doesn't seem to POST the file up. I am thinking it's because of the location I have placed the code, but I do not know how to fix it.

I have an ASP WIZARD defined on my SETTINGS ControlPage. The default first step appears fine to the user, and when I click on NEXT it kicks off the "NextButtonClick" event without a problem.  However in this event "NextButtonClick", I need to retrieve the file that was uploaded...but this event doesn't seem to cause a POSTBACK.  How do I get the NEXT button of the ASP WIZARD to POSTBACK the file for upload? When I check the Me.cmdBrowse.PostedFile property, I get back NOTHING.

Yes this can be done, DNN ships with the SharpZipLib assembly.

Here is an example.


Using oFileStream As FileStream = File.OpenRead(m_oInfoImport.Path & "\Data\" & m_sFile)
Dim oZipInputStream As ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipInputStream = New ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipInputStream(oFileStream)
Dim oZipEntry As ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipEntry
oZipEntry = oZipInputStream.GetNextEntry()
While Not (oZipEntry Is Nothing)
Dim fileName As String = Path.GetFileName(oZipEntry.Name)
If Not (fileName = String.Empty) Then
Dim streamWriter As FileStream = File.Create(m_oInfoImport.Path & "\Data\" & oZipEntry.Name)
Dim size As Integer = 2048
Dim data() As Byte = New Byte(2048) {}
While (True)
size = oZipInputStream.Read(data, 0, data.Length)
If size > 0 Then
streamWriter.Write(data, 0, size)
Else
Exit While
End If
End While
streamWriter.Close()
End If
' get the next file in the zip
oZipEntry = oZipInputStream.GetNextEntry()
End While
oZipInputStream.Close()
End Using

Thank you Robert. You pointed me in the right direction and I was able to figure it out!
