here are a lot of libraries to work with zip files. I found a very easy way to work with zip files from a C# program. The Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 comes with new language: J#. Let's look at it a little. For sure, Java is a parent of it; if so, java.util.zipis somewhere here! I spent a few minutes and found it in vjslib.dll. Let's do the work. Start a new C# project and select Windows Application. Our goal is something like that:

All we need to do is: add reference to our project:

Now, we can use it:

Collapse | Copy Code

// Output stream java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(zipFileName); 

// Tie to zip stream java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream zos = new java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream(fos); 

// Stream with source file java.io.FileInputStream fis = new java.io.FileInputStream(sourceFile); 

// It's our entry in zip java.util.zip.ZipEntry ze = new java.util.zip.ZipEntry(sourceFile); 

zos.putNextEntry(ze); 
sbyte[] buffer = new sbyte[1024]; 
int len; 

// Read and write until done while((len = fis.read(buffer)) >= 0) 
{ 
    zos.write(buffer, 0, len); 
}
 
// Close everything zos.closeEntry(); 
fis.close(); 
zos.close(); 
fos.close(); 

Conclusion

That's all! Demo application is included.
