ZIP class in Whidbey .NET Framework (2.0)

[LP]

Does anyone know if there will be built-in
compress/decompress components (ZIP, GZIP,...) in
coming .NET Framework 2.0? I know there is several freely
available components out there such as #ZIPLib from
#Develop, but built-in components provided by the
Framework would be nice and useful.

Thanks in advance,
LP

LOP,
Have you looked over the reference at:

http://longhorn.msdn.microsoft.com/

It contains both the Longhorn specific items & Whidbey items. I've been
using the assembly version on the classes to try to determine if the element
is Longhorn or Whidbey, not sure if that is the correct way to do it or not.

For current versions of .NET I've seen suggestions of using the Java Zip
classes included with J#, however I do not have specifics available.

Hope this helps
Jay

Here's an article on using the J# Zip classes from C#:

It looked like I have only 2 "free" options here for
including zip functionality in my app. Using free #ZipLIB
or zip classess from J# Runtime.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions.
