Creating a ZIP File using C#.NET

You can easily create a zip file with C#.NET using Chilkat component.

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

      Chilkat.Zip zip = new Chilkat.Zip();

      // Anything begins the 30-day trial

      bool unlocked = zip.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");

      if (!unlocked)

      {

            MessageBox.Show(zip.LastErrorText);

            return;

      }

      zip.NewZip("test.zip");

      // Append a directory tree.  This simply adds disk file references

      // to the Zip object.  No Zip is created at this point.

      bool success = zip.AppendFiles("tree", true);

      if (!success)

      {

            MessageBox.Show(zip.LastErrorText);

            return;

      }

      // Write test.zip

      success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();

      if (!success)

      {

            MessageBox.Show(zip.LastErrorText);

      }

      else

      {
