DotNetZip: Convert ZipFile Array to Byte []

Question

I use DotNetZip to add a file to the zip archive that I read from the file system. I would like to convert the resulting ZipFile array to byte []. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My code is shown below.

public byte[] AddPrjFile(FileStream shapeFileZip, Uri prjLocation) { string prjFileAbsPath = prjLocation.AbsolutePath; using (ZipFile zip = ZipFile.Read(shapFileZip)) { ZipEntry e = zip.AddFile(prjFileAbsPath); e.FileName = zipFile.Name + ".prj"; } return byte_array; }

You can simply use the static File.ReadAllBytes method, for example:

 return File.ReadAllBytes( shapeFileZip.Name ); 

To read from your file.
