Compressing in vb .net 2003

[aphei]

is there any way to compress file in vb .net 2003 without using outside reference?

You could reference vjslib which should be listed under the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog box. The should then explore the java.util.zip namespace. The only thing is, I as not sure it is available in the .NET Framework 1.x, but is available in .NET Framework 2

I found the following article on CodeProject which may be of help http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/cpzipstrip2.aspx[^]. It's in C# but should give you some pointers.
