How to use Compressed Folder function of XP programmaticall y?

dear Readers,

i will be downloading a zip file from the intranet website
programmaticall y and i would like to process some of the files inside
them before the user can save it. we have a lot of copies of winzip.
winzip does not let me call their functions as COM or as .NET
assemblies.

I want to use the native compressed folder function present in the
Windows XP OS to open the zip file and process them before the user can
save it to the hard drive.

any links will be greatly appreciated.

regards
Ravi.

There is a free .Net zip library that you can use. It is written in c#.

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib

It is open source, but the authors allow it to be used in closed,
commercial applications.

I personally haven't used it, but I have heard good things about it.

Ravi,

To be sure, do you want to upload unattended a zipfile to a client computer,
open that and than process a program unattended a program from inside that
zipfile.

As you want that and I don't know if it is even possible, than you need for
that at least that the user will download attended a Java or other pluggin
that you have signed.

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.

Hi, I have the following code to select a folder and then delete it. I keep getting a Path/File error on the line that deletes the actual folder. The line before that line deletes the files in the folder but I get the error message when the procedure attempts to delete the folder selected in the BrowseforFolderbyPath function. How can I get it to delete the folder that the user has selected in the Browse for Folder dialog?
