IO.Compression and Encryption Error

Hi,
Environment: VB 2005 Professional
Both ends, its the application which is doing the functionalities.
At the despatch end, We have a text file which is to be compressed and
encrypted and sent over to the recepient.
At the recepient end, the file is decrypted and then decompressed.
Say the original file is CreateTestPort3.txt
CreateTestPort3.txt: 1306 KB (original file)
TestGZipped:151 KB (compressing the original file using GZipStream)
EncryptText:151 KB (encrypting the compressed file)
DecryptText: 76 KB (decrypting the earlier file)
CreateTestPort3GOriginal: 0 KB (decompressing the file)
We receive an error at this stage:
Error : An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.InvalidDataException'
occurred in System.dll
Additional information: The magic number in GZip header is not correct. Make
sure you are passing in a GZip stream.
Can anyone point out what are we doing wrong? If we just compress and
decompress the file using the same code, its perfect. If we encrypt and
decrypt the file using the same class, its perfect. But if we do the
combination of compression and encryption, the file is totally messed up.
Any reasons?
For the sake of testing, we did both the functionalities of recepient and
despatch end in the same project...
The code for above is here:
Dim SecKey As String = "Tashgktt"
Private Sub cmdComGZipped_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles cmdComGZipped.Click
Dim outfile, infile As FileStream
Dim zipStream As GZipStream
Dim sw As StreamWriter
Dim sr As StreamReader
Dim ms As MemoryStream
Dim info As FileInfo
infile = New FileStream("Y:\CreateTestPort3.txt", FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read)
outfile = New FileStream("Y:\TestGZipped.xip", FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write)
zipStream = New GZipStream(outfile, CompressionMode.Compress, False)
sr = New StreamReader(infile)
sw = New StreamWriter(zipStream)
Do While Not sr.EndOfStream
sw.WriteLine(sr.ReadLine)
Loop
sw.Close()
sr.Close()
zipStream.Close() ' important to close this first to flush compressed stream
outfile.Close() ' important to close this second to flush output stream
infile.Close()
info = New FileInfo("Y:\TestGZipped.Xip")
MsgBox(info.Length.ToString)
'//Encrypt the file
EncryptFile("Y:\TestGZipped.xip", "Y:\EncryptText.enc", SecKey)
End Sub
Private Sub cmdDecomGZipped_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles cmdDecomGZipped.Click
Dim outfile, infile As FileStream '
Dim ZipStream As GZipStream
Dim sw As StreamWriter
Dim sr As StreamReader
Dim info As FileInfo
'//Decrypt the file
DecryptFile("Y:\EncryptText.enc", "Y:\DecryptText.XIP", SecKey)
infile = New FileStream("Y:\DecryptText.XIP", FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read)
outfile = New FileStream("Y:\CreateTestPort3GOriginal.txt", FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write)
ZipStream = New GZipStream(infile, CompressionMode.Decompress, False)
sr = New StreamReader(ZipStream)
sw = New StreamWriter(outfile)
Do While Not sr.EndOfStream
sw.WriteLine(sr.ReadLine)
Loop
sw.Close()
sr.Close()
ZipStream.Close() ' important to close this first to flush compressed stream
outfile.Close() ' important to close this second to flush output stream
infile.Close()
info = New FileInfo("Y:\CreateTestPort3GOriginal.txt")
MsgBox(info.Length.ToString)
End Sub

The Encrypt/Decrypt is done by the following:
