Decompressing zip files

Bruno Silva

Hello dear readers,

I'm currently coding a little app and I need to know how I can do something,
the idea is to download a little zip from from the web (currently working)
and then unzip it... I've been searching for system.io.compression, but I
cant seem to find an example of how to extract the file... can someone give
me a clue?

tnks..

PS: using vb .net 2005
