Reidar,
There is a sample in the 101 samples for VB2005 (Compresion)
Which makes that it is only copy and paste

I hope this helps,

Check out the 'System.IO.Compression.GzipStream' class.

Herfried,
I have not used GzipStream yet, however I get the impression that it only
compresses a single stream (file) rather then maintain the collection of
files in a zip. Of course I could have the wrong impression of GzipStream
I understand that you need to use some upcoming WinFX API to maintain the
collection of files in a zip.
For example you could use GzipStream to compress WebRequests & WebResponses
"on the fly".

That might be true, but the OP was specifically asking for zipping a single
file ;-).

Herfried,

Does the OP want a file that uses the ZIP compression algorithm, or does he
want a .ZIP file that contains a single file?
I really don't know. When I hear "zip a file" I think of a .ZIP file that
contains a single file. Not a file that uses the ZIP compression algorithm.

Hello,
I have the same request. I looked and the Compresion and it is pretty much
what I needed except for I also need to password protect the copmressed file.
How could I do that?
Thanks,
Alexis
