Hi Guys,
I tried searching on the net for a code to compress/zip files in VB.Net, but could not find any solution.
Can anyone help me with this - I do not like that one of using 3rd party components to do this.
Alternatively, I need a code that will do that WinXP compression function.
When you right-click on a file or folder in WinXP, there is that Send To -> Compressed (zipped) folder. I need to do that programmatically.
Thank you in advance.

compressing files is a very complex algorithm. gzip is a free open-source library. Or if you want to spend the $$$ you can buy the libraries from pkware, the originator of the zip format.

Hi,
I think “Compression and Decompression of Files using Visual Basic 2005” article on
http://aspalliance.com/1287_Compress...Basic_2005.all may be helpful in this discussion.
This popular white paper is written by a software engineer from our organization Mindfire Solutions (http://www.mindfiresolutions.com).
I hope you find it useful!
Cheers,
Byapti
