I saw this thread: ZIP using VB.NET and the reply was something about C# using J# modules.

I'm doing vb.net, and actually I just have VB.Net Standard, not the whole studio.

I'd like to "zip" or something else, for two reasons:

1. Compression
2. Grouping multiple files together

First I don't care that its zipping. It could be RAR, ACE or even just my own lil deal not compatable with anything else.

Now I'd like a vb.net solution, but short of that, can that C# using J# be done with VB.Net instead? Also is having Visual Studio required or can I pull something off with just VB Standard?

I'd consider the winzip commandline like the other fella did, but I'm in a work environment and this program could be used on any of 6 dozen computers. I think you have to have the registered and paid for version of WinZip to do that, which would involve budgeting and finances and headaches, then the annoyance of having to have winZip installed on all these PCs, the majority of which have XP (already can zip).

Any help?
