Cannot open file .... as archive

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using the sample code given on the documentation page

 private void Abc()
        {
            using (var outFile = File.Create("myOutFile.tar.gz"))
            {
                using (var outStream = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(outFile, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Compress ))
                {
                    using (var writer = new TarWriter(outStream))
                    {
                        writer.ReadOnZero = true;
                        writer.Write("test22.txt");
                    }
                }
            }
        }

It generates the tar and gzip file without reporting any errors, but when I use 
7-Zip to open the gzip, it gives me the .tar file. but when i try to open the 
tar file using 7Zip, it gives me an error "Cannot open file 
c:\....\myOutFile.tar as archive.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am also experiencing this issue. Is there something wrong with the tar format?

make sure that streams are closed properly and tar and gzip are not the stream 
owners. If you are using something like this:

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
 using (GZipOutputStream gzipStream = new GZipOutputStream(ms))
  using (TarOutputStream tarOutputStream = new TarOutputStream(gzipStream))
            {
             .....
                        TarEntry entry = TarEntry.CreateTarEntry(tarName);
                        entry.Size = fileSize;
                        tarOutputStream.PutNextEntry(entry);
                         .....
                        tarOutputStream.CloseEntry();

                tarOutputStream.IsStreamOwner = false;
                tarOutputStream.Close();

                gzipStream.IsStreamOwner = false;
                gzipStream.Close();

                ms.Flush();

            }
