Zip/Compression in .NET

[RAJ]

Is there any way I can Zip/Compress files using .NET (VB.NET preferably).

Any working examples will help.

Thanks and regards,

RAJ

You will need to either buy or build a Zip Extractor component. There are
several available on the net.

"/n software" has a component called "IP*WORKS! ZIP" that will do this.
Haven't used it but heard good things about it.

The second Link Supplied by Bryant is excellent.
I have had very good results with it. It allows you to specify how well you
want your file to be compressed. I recomend it.

Thank you all who replied to the message for your help. I have now
implemented the second link as suggested by Landi. It works very well.

don't buy anything..

compress is part of the damn SDK

and you can go to www.gzip.org and get the source for zlib and gzip for free
