.net zip equivalent of jar in Java

[Jack Wright]

Dear All,
Is there a .net zip equivalent of jar in Java? I would like to
compression my dlls while sending it across via No Touch...it should
also take care of versioning...

Thanks & Regards
Jack

Not out of the box, no. If you want to add compression, you'll have to
roll your own scheme of compressing/decompressing .NET assemblies.

Another problem, no-touch won't find the DLLs in the zip file - it only
looks for DLLs.

Hi Chris,
Thanks...I would like to embed a zipped file into my .Net dll and
extract it on my client...this will save lot of BandWidth...though it
will increase the process time on the client...I want to keep my
WebServer healthy and cater to users instanteously...

Thanks & Regards
