DirectoryInfo and zip files

[Guest]

Hi,
In the same manner that WinXP file explorer graphically allows viewing zip
files, is there any method (hopefully simple) to get DirectoryInfo to treat a
zip file as a just a folder(s) with files?
I am hoping to avoid having to unzip thousands to files before being able to
process them.
Thanks in advance.

All a Zip file is is a file with file names and compressed data. You can use
projects like SharpZipLib, etc., to query the "directory" structure and see
what is there. It is an open source project:
