Compression of data

[JoeStoneAT]

Hi,
what are the possibilities to use compression with HDF5-CSharp?
In the code I found something at ChunkedCompound.

By adding in ChunkedDataset.cs :: public void FirstDataset(Array dataset) the following I got it working for Chunked Datasets

            /* Modify dataset creation properties, i.e. enable chunking  */
            propId = H5P.create(H5P.DATASET_CREATE);
            status = H5P.set_chunk(propId, Rank, chunkDims);
            H5P.set_deflate(propId, 6);

            /* Create a new dataset within the file using chunk creation properties.  */
            datasetId = Hdf5Utils.GetDatasetId(GroupId, Hdf5Utils.NormalizedName(Datasetname), datatype, spaceId, propId);

@LiorBanai, could you enable such a feature for ChunkedDataset? Best would be a possibility to switch compression on/off

Is compression also possible with simple continuous Datasets - which I have most of the time? This would remove the zipping of the h5 files after creation.
I'm not sure if I understand the HDF5 docu correctly.
