Unzip a string on Windows Phone

Question

I'm looking for a way to unzip a string on Windows Phone. Found this thread, but the GZipStream class is not available on WP. Could you please recommend me something to look at?

UPD.: Here is the solution using SharpZipLib

Have a look at SharpGIS's really small Zip utility. I've never used it but it might work for you.

Works on streams doesnt it? in which case you could write your string to a stream (using StreamWriter) and unzip on that. – gbanfill Apr 02 '12 at 10:02

DotNetZip seems to have a Silverlight port, (which contains GZipStream.cs)

You can check if it can help you decompress the string.
