UnZip method

I want to let the users of my Windows form press a button
to download (from the Internet) and unpack a revised form
and supporting data files.

It looks like myWebClient.DownloadFile under class
system.net is a easy way to get the zip file to the
client.

But how can I unzip the file?

I found some pricey solutions for adding .net zip
function from xceed and Chilkat Software. But is there
anything free out there that will do a simple unzip?

re: UnZip method

Hi Bob,

Both I got from messages from Ken did not see him yet

There is a free zip in the resource kit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/default.aspx

However he did send also

I hope this helps?

The VB.NET Resource Kit contains zipping functionality too:

It contains ComponentOne Zip for .NET:
