I hope you read this, and kindly answer it.
Can you tell me how to compress / decompress multiple file at once ?

When I'm using your solution , it can compress only 1 file into 1 7z file.

Thank you.

LZMA.Decompress(inStream, outStream [, Action<long, long> onProgress])

How I can assing this to a ProgressBar?

LZMA.Decompress(inStream, outStream [, Action<long, long> onProgress])

How I can assing this to a ProgressBar?

Like this for example:

var fileStream = File.OpenRead("..."); // Get Filestream to compress
var zipStream = File.Create("...");    // Output file
var totalSize = fileStream.Length;     // <- Get filesize once

// Using IProgress<T> for notifying
var prg = new Progress<(long processedBytes, long resultSize)>();
prg.ProgressChanged += (s, e) =>
{
    // Update UI / Progressbar, etc.
    // \/ this writes "Compressing: 1.52%" \/
    Console.WriteLine($"Compressing: {e.processedBytes / totalSize:p}");
};

// you can do this in Task.Run(() => ...) - Progress<T> will raise the event on the creation Thread
// pass IProgress to progress lambda, so that you can call "Report" on it
IProgress<(long processedBytes, long resultSize)> iprg = prg;
LZMA.Compress(fileStream, zipStream, LzmaSpeed.Fastest, DictionarySize.Medium,
    (cur, max) => iprg.Report((cur, max)));

@kirides Can you explain how to use this SDK to extract the 7z file into a destination folder with individual files?

@kirides Can you explain how to use this SDK to extract the 7z file into a destination folder with individual files?

tldr: Not with this kind of code

7z files are different from LZMA/2 compressed files.

7z files are archives (like .zip)
whereas LZMA/2 compressed files are more like "something.gz", or "dir.tar.xz"

Great Code!. I am trying to compress a folder. But i dont find any doc to do it. Writing filesize#1, file content#1, filesize#2, file content#2 does not seem to work.
