hi,
i am doing a project using C#. i am new to this area.
the task is to extract the zip or rar file using C#.
in my windows form have a text box and button in the form. i will give the zip or rar file. when i click that button. it must automatically extract the file and shows contents of that file in to the other form or file..
i don't know how to extract that zip or rar file using C#.
if u know please share your idea.
Jump to PostIn the past I have used SharpZipLib

...But that only handles ZIP files. RAR files will have to be done with something else, like this DLL:

This won't create RAR files, but it will list and extract.
Thank you boss.
DotNetZip library does a great job with zip files. It is very easy to use, yet very fast and flawless code. RAR files are closed format and we cant manipulate them programatrically.
