Programatically using Compressed Folder

Justin Busch

I thought I saw an article online about programmaticall y using the Send To
Compressed (zipped) Folder function in VB, however that page no longer
exists.

Does anyone have details on how this is possible?

Herfried or group,

This looks like what I need, however I haven't done work before importing a
class into one of my projects before. I "Added an existing file" from the
project menu and selected the CompressedFolde r.vb file and it is listed in
solution manager.

Perhaps I am not reading the class properly, but I cannot get the following
to work:
dim foldertozip as CompressedFolde r
foldertozip = new CompressedFolde r(filepath + filename)

foldertozip.com pressFile(filep athoffolder)

I am receiving an error saying that CompressedFolde r is not declared.

Thank you in advance for you assistance.

Zip files using the Compressed Folders functionality in Windows

by: MadMonk | last post by:

Hi, I need to write a small Windows application (console or forms) (for Windows XP SP2 & Windows Server 2003), which will check a folder for the presence of some files, and if they exist, it will zip the files using the inbuilt Compressed files functionality of Windows (same as the Context Menu -Send to -Compressed (zipped) folder). I cannot use any other third party tool (like winzip etc.) because of some non-technical constraints.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
