Using Winzip from visual basic.net

[djfurthur]

the extreme visual basic forum suggested that i come here and ask this question since it pertains to .net functions.

 

i am trying to run winzip to unzip a file from visual basic. I was curious if someone knew the syntax to do such a thing using the process command.

 

thanks,

Not sure if WinZip can be used that way, although you can download a command line version of winzip from http://www.winzip.com - that most definately can be used this way.

 

Also http://www.icsharpcode.net have a free zip library you could use as well, works very nicely in fact.

I never used WinZip from command line but there is a free GPL library that handles zips for .NET, check it out:

i am using the command line winzip to complete this project. I am not go with visual basic (either 6.0 or .NET), and i am having to port code from one version to another.
