How to extract files from .CAB file using C # .Net?

Question

I have a CAB file created with CABARC.EXE. I need to extract a file using ASP.Net C # .Net.

How to do this in C # .net itself? I do not want to use the same CABARC.EXE to extract. Because we do not use this tool in a working environment.

Please give your valuable suggestions / code to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

If you need a C # inline solution, I suggest you start with the file specification for the CAB files:

There you have a description of the file format for the CAB file.
