It is not possible to correctly download files from the azure storage and data is also lost when downloading files

Question

I have 2 files stored in storage using Azure:

• abc.txt
• Pqr.docx

Now I want to create zip files from these 2 files and allow the user to load.

I saved this in the database table field as follows:

Document
Abc,Pqr

Now, when I click on download, then I get the file, as shown below, without data , and the file extension is also lost , as shown below:

I want the user to get the exact file (.txt, .docx) in the zip when the user uploaded the zip file .

This is my code:

public ActionResult DownloadImagefilesAsZip()
{
    string documentUrl = repossitory.GetDocumentsUrlbyId(id);//output:Abc.txt,Pqr.Docx
          if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(documentUrl))
            {
                string[] str = documentUrl.Split(',');
                if (str.Length > 1)
                {
                    using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
                    {
                        int cnt = 0;
                        foreach (string t in str)
                        {
                            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(t))
                            {
                                Stream s = this.GetFileContent(t);
                                zip.AddEntry("File" + cnt, s);

                            }
                            cnt++;
                        }
                        zip.Save(outputStream);
                        outputStream.Position = 0;
                        return File(outputStream, "application/zip", "all.zip");
                    }
                }

}

  public Stream GetFileContent(string fileName)
        {
            CloudBlobContainer container = this.GetCloudBlobContainer();
            CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(fileName);
            var stream = new MemoryStream();
            blockBlob.DownloadToStream(stream);
            return stream;
        }

 public CloudBlobContainer GetCloudBlobContainer()
        {
            CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"].ToString());
            CloudBlobClient blobclient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
            CloudBlobContainer blobcontainer = blobclient.GetContainerReference("Mystorage");
            if (blobcontainer.CreateIfNotExists())
            {
                blobcontainer.SetPermissions(new BlobContainerPermissions { PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Blob });
            }
            blobcontainer.SetPermissions(new BlobContainerPermissions { PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Blob });
            return blobcontainer;
        }

I want the same file to be loaded when the user downloaded the zip file.

Can anyone help me with this?

, :

• , blob , 0. , zip .
• AddEntry blob "File"+cnt.

, . , zip .

    static void SaveBlobsToZip()
    {
        string[] str = new string[] { "CodePlex.png", "DocumentDB.png" };
        var account = new CloudStorageAccount(new StorageCredentials(accountName, accountKey), true);
        var blobClient = account.CreateCloudBlobClient();
        var container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("images");
        using (var fs = new FileStream("D:\\output.zip", FileMode.Create))
        {
            fs.Position = 0;
            using (var ms1 = new MemoryStream())
            {
                using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
                {

                        container.GetBlockBlobReference(t).DownloadToStream(ms);
                        ms.Position = 0;//This was missing from your code
                        zip.AddEntry(t, ms);//You may want to give the name of the blob here.
                        cnt++;
                    }
                    zip.Save(ms1);
                }
                ms1.Position = 0;
                ms1.CopyTo(fs);
            }

, ICSharpZip,

public void ZipFilesToResponse(HttpResponseBase response, IEnumerable<Asset> files, string zipFileName)
    {
        using (var zipOutputStream = new ZipOutputStream(response.OutputStream))
        {
            zipOutputStream.SetLevel(0); // 0 - store only to 9 - means best compression

            response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + zipFileName);
