C# and Zip Files

[kleptos]

Does the .NET Framework have anything built in for file compression? I wanted to create some compressed files (tar or zip) of a few directories for archival purposes. So i was hoping the framework already had something. Any ideas?

Nothing built in, but here's a good resource.

J# has an ability to work with ZIP files, but you would need an additional redistributable for J# installed additionally to .NET Framework, you could use it from a DLL. But what Nerseus mentioned is a better way of doing it .

Thanks! I tried that ICSharpCode one, the tar methods are a little more extensive then i was hoping for, but i will definatly give it a shot. Thanks!
