This sample demonstrates how to:

Choose a sample file using the file picker (This file will be used to demonstrate compression/decompression).

Read the data from the chosen file, compress it using a compression algorithm of your choice, and write this compressed data to a new file in the temporary app data store.

Read the compressed data from a file and decompress it to yet another new file.

Compression Algorithms:

DEFAULT: No compression algorithms explicitly specified. Xpress is used by default.

XPRESS: Compression ratio is fair. Fastest compression and decompression speeds. Low memory requirement.

MSZIP: Compression ratio is high. Normal compression speed and fast decompression speed. Low memory requirement.
