C# Zip/Unzip

Does anyone out there know how can i zip and unzip files using C#? I've googled but didn't find something useful .

All useful replies will appreciated and will be given a +rep .

 

do you want actual source code in c# ? you can use
http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html to unzip zip archives.

 

There's also http://icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx . Note that although the license is GPL, they have an explicit exception for using it in closed source applications. Why they didn't just pick LGPL is beyond me, but anyway...

 

Thanks. I'd love it if you could give me the actual source code.

 

I don't see that zLib code being for C# explicitly, while that's exactly what the link I gave you is for. Plus, almost by the license's definition it comes with code, right?

 

Zip:

// add content of the local directory C:\Data\
// to the directory \Data-2010 (within the ZIP archive)
// (ZIP archive C:\archive.zip doesn't have to exist)
ZipArchive.Add(@"C:\archive.zip", @"C:\Data\*", @"\Data-2010");

Unzip:
// extract whole content of the ZIP archive to the existing local directory C:\Data
ZipArchive.ExtractAll(@"C:\archive.zip", @"C:\Data");

All using Rebex ZIP from www(dot)rebex(dot)net(slash)zip.net
