create zip

[Alexander Widera]

hello,

is there a free .net-control that'll do zipping (archiving)? I only want to
create a zip-file of some files. Or has somebody an idea?

Thank you

Alex

There sure is, Alex,

The CSharpZipLib Open Source Zip library is one that I have used and can
vouch for:

If I was you I'd first try using the J# zip classes:

Or I've heard of people having success with this code:

Or you could consider calling a command line utility like this:

Or you could consider a 3rd party component such as this:
