How can I get the extension of compressed file after being compressed with System.IO.Compression.GZipStream?
For example, if the original file is named test.doc and compresses to test.gz, how do I know what file extension to use when decompressing?
I had to do this some time ago. The solution is to use the J# libraries to do it. You still write it in C# however.
