See Question&Answers more detail:osYou can use DotNetZip to archieve this. It′s free to use in any application.
Here′s some sample code:
try
{
// for easy disposal
using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
// add this map file into the "images" directory in the zip archive
zip.AddFile("c:\images\personal\7440-N49th.png", "images");
// add the report into a different directory in the archive
zip.AddFile("c:\Reports\2008-Regional-Sales-Report.pdf", "files");
zip.AddFile("ReadMe.txt");
zip.Save("MyZipFile.zip");
}
}
catch (System.Exception ex1)
{
System.Console.Error.WriteLine("exception: " + ex1);
}
