DotNetZip Examples

Need to create a zip file from within a .NET application?
Do you want to unzip a zip file from within a Windows Forms application? Create a zip file from within an ASP.NET page?
List the contents of a zip file from a Smart Device app? Modify a .docx file programmatically? Do you want to compress backups as part of a SQL Server Integration Services pipeline? Zip things from a powershell script? DotNetZip can help you do all of these things, and more.

DotNetZip is an open-source library that enables .NET applications to read and write ZIP files. Packaged as a single assembly (Ionic.Zip.dll), DotNetZip is a simple and easy way to include ZIP capability into your applications.

DotNetZip supports many ZIP features, including password-protected files, ZIP64 files, and zipfiles with entries that have Unicode filenames or comments. This page provides code examples for DotNetZip.
