Q: Need tip on compressing files.

[Martin Arvidsson, Visual Systems AB]

Hi!

I have a service running on a main server.

What i want to do is to compress the files before i send them to an FTP
site.
Is there a built in compression tool in the .NET Framework 2.0 or do i have
to use the
zip functionallity.

Anny suggestions, links are warmly welcome...

Regards
Martin

Hello Martin Arvidsson, Visual Systems AB,


Use System.IO.Compression.GZipStream
or SharpZipLib http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx
