How do I unzip a zip file in a azure fileshare directory

Question

I have a Azure fileshare directory with a zip file, lets say abc.zip.
I want to unzip this with C# code in a C# Azure function.
What I have is the right filled CloudFileDirectory. Now I want to call a method that unzip the file thats is in this Azure fileshare directory.

The name of the method is "public static async Task<resulthelper> ExtractZipFileCloudStorageAsync(CloudFileDirectory extractDirectory)" and takes 1 argument.

I have tried a lot of code but nothing seems to work. The last code I tried is trying to make a stream from a CloudFile.
The code line "using (var zipArchive = new ZipArchive(stream))" gives me a error (catch) => "End of Central Directory record could not be found."

What do I do wrong?

What I have tried:

C#

 public static async Task<ResultHelper> ExtractZipFileCloudStorageAsync(CloudFileDirectory extractDirectory)
 {
    try
    {
       var zipFiles = await extractDirectory.ListFilesAndDirectoriesSegmentedAsync(null);

    using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
    {
        foreach (var zipFile in zipFiles.Results)
        {                        
            if (zipFile is CloudFile file && file.Uri.AbsoluteUri.EndsWith(".zip", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
            {                            
                var zipFileBytes = await GetMemoryStreamAsync(file);
                using (var stream = new MemoryStream(zipFileBytes.GetBuffer()))
                {
                    using (var zipArchive = new ZipArchive(stream))
                    {

                    }
                }
            }
        }

         return ...
     }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return ...
    }
}
}

I rebuilded it an now it works =>

C#

public static class ExtractZipFileHelper
{        
    /// <summary>
    /// Extract zip file for Azure fileshare folders (cloud directory).
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="extractDirectory"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static async Task<ResultHelper> ExtractZipFileCloudStorageAsync(CloudFileDirectory extractDirectory)
    {
        try
        {
            if (extractDirectory == null)
            {
                return ResultHelper.CreateResultHelper(false, "The parameter 'extractDirectory' is empty or NULL!");
            }
            
            return await ExtractZipFileAsync(extractDirectory);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return ResultHelper.CreateResultHelper(false, $"Error while extracting zip files: {ex.Message}");
        }
    }        

    /// <summary>
    /// Extract all zip files in the extractDirectory.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="extractDirectory"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private static async Task<ResultHelper> ExtractZipFileAsync(CloudFileDirectory extractDirectory)
    {
        try
        {
            var filesAndDirectories = await extractDirectory.ListFilesAndDirectoriesSegmentedAsync(null);
            // Loop through all entries in the CloudFileDirectory.
            foreach (var item in filesAndDirectories.Results)
            {
                // Verify that the item is a CloudFile.
                if (item is CloudFile cloudFile)
                {
                    // Check if the item ends in '.zip'.
                    if (cloudFile.Name.EndsWith(".zip"))
                    {
                        // Create a MemoryStream for the contents of the zip file.
                        using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
                        {
                            // Download the contents of the zip file to the MemoryStream.
                            await cloudFile.DownloadToStreamAsync(memoryStream);

                            // Use a ZipArchive to read the contents of the zip file.
                            using (ZipArchive zipArchive = new ZipArchive(memoryStream))
                            {

                                        // Upload the contents to the corresponding CloudFile.
                                        await entryFile.UploadFromStreamAsync(entryStream);
                                    }
