Zipping Files
-
Can anyone point me in the right direction to take a group of files and ZIP them together? I am not looking for a component ... there should be something built into the .NET Framework for file compression, right? I am struggling at finding information ... please help. :confused:

Newport News, VA, USAThere are no compression streams built into the .NET framework. If you are looking to just combine the files into one big file, then you can just open each file and copy the bytes from them into one file. You will need to do something so that you can tell when one stops though and another begins. Hope this helps, Nathan P.S. I do know of a library for .NET compression but you said you don't want it.

Take a look at this GPL (open-source) zip library, called SharpZipLib[^].

But SharpZipLib is a great library... anyway, I think I am too bored, cause I am posting this useless message... --------------------------- Hmmm... what's a signature?
