RAR Extraction Plugin for .NET empowers your applications to extract RAR archives independently, eliminating the dependency on third-party applications. It offers the RarArchive
class for seamless interaction with RAR archives and the RarArchiveEntry
class to manage individual files within the RAR archive.

method to extract all entriesYou can extract individual entries from an RAR archive and save them to a stream for additional processing if needed. The process of loading the RAR archive is the same as demonstrated above. However, to extract a specific entry, the code needs to iterate over the collection of entries and save it to a byte array, as shown below.
RAR files are used for compressing and archiving one or more files into a single container. This helps reduce the overall size of the files, making it easier to transfer or store them.
RAR often provides better compression ratios compared to ZIP. Additionally, RAR supports features like password protection, error recovery, and the ability to split archives into multiple volumes.
The RAR Extractor plugin is designed to handle large archives, but the exact limitations may depend on the system resources and environment. It’s recommended to check the documentation for any specific guidelines on archive size.
Yes, you can extract specific files from an RAR archive using the RarArchive
class. After loading the archive, you can iterate through its entries and extract the desired files using the provided methods. Check the code examples in the documentation for a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this.
Yes, the RAR Extractor plugin supports password-protected RAR archives. When creating an instance of the RarArchive
class, you can provide the necessary password as a parameter to unlock and extract the contents of secured RAR files. Ensure that you handle passwords securely in your application to maintain data integrity.
Absolutely. The RAR Extractor for .NET is designed to work seamlessly with both RAR4 and RAR5 formats. You can confidently use the plugin to extract files from archives created with either version, ensuring compatibility and flexibility in your application.
The RAR Extractor for .NET includes error handling mechanisms to deal with corrupted or problematic archives.
