Unzip utility in Windows API

jyoti.khera

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is any inbuilt utility in windows shell API
with the help of which we can Unzip the files. I need to use that and
Unzip the files using c# code.

Dunno if the Compressed Folders facility of the shell is exposed in the
API. But if your situation allows you to use LGPL software, the
SharpZipLib can (with some work) unzip files for you.

I still find the SharpZip lib license to be hard to understand, even after
they've reworked it to make it easier to understand.

SharpZipLib is GPL, not LGPL as the previous poster stated.

It says you can use it "with independent modules... regardless of the
license terms of these individual modules".

What is an "independent module"?

For example, I have an app that uses plugins extensively. If I did all the
ZIP stuff in a plugin, is that considered an "independent module?"
