How to work with a zip file?

Question

I have a zip file and I want to know which library can process it? Is there a built-in method in the.net file that can unzip a zip file?

Answer 1

SharpZipLib is a good choice for use with ZIP files in .NET.

See http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sharpziplib/ for details.

Answer 2

You can use the System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream class to unzip a file. There is also an example.

Answer 3

Use GZipStream or DeflateStream in System.IO.Compression .

GZipStream is similar to DeflateStream , but contains a few extra bits to make it friendly with applications like WinZip.
