C# Zip Files and/or Folders[^] could help you out.

If you actually want to make a ZIP compatible file, I strongly recommend SharpZipLib. It's a third party DLL but so what? ... you are almost certainly already deploying more than one file, unless there is a really good reason not to use a library you should do so. It's free and doesn't have license restrictions that stop you using it.

The deflator in .NET is bad[^]. I can't think of any reason to use it, but maybe you have one. If you do, we can help you better if you share that reason.
