C# Support for ZIP Format

[PeteZ]

I have a job to create a .ZIP file in C# - I need to create, add files,
remove files and be able to view contents of ZIP files using C# etc

I have been hunting round for some inbuilt support for the .ZIP format in
..NET bt come up empty

I know of some 3rd party products out there but if I were to try and develop
this using C# myself, do I need to start from scratch ?

any ideas ?

Thanks for the link (but I had seen this already) . . . . I was really
hoping on inbuilt .NET support so I didnt need to get involved in licensing
issues and we can freely distribute this code (which I intend writing as a
component class)

Hope you understand what I mean.

Check out the following article

The only downside is you need the J# runtime as well.
