Zipping Files and folder using C#

Introduction

Zipping Files and folder without using 3rd party tools

Background

Just add reference to the solution for vjslib available with C# .NET

The code

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using java.util;
using java.util.zip;
using java.io;

Thank You

 

please tell where i need to run this c#.net code...
and and how it zip the file & folder...

 

You will need to add Reference of vjslib in your C#.NET code.

Run it in .NET's C# Version.

 

Nice, but instead woh posting the whole class like this, you could have written about the the basic functions with small code snippets.

 

I have been suggested to put much more descriptive code

 

you must check this code..
This is not looks like the code of zip...
i don't think that it is worth wile to consider as a zip code...

 

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

 

have u written this code for yourself? Have u used it somewhere?

 

Code:

//easy way to make zip files without any dlls
//version indipendent
public void MakeZip(string SourceFileName,string ZipFileName)// Zip functionality added by madhu
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process scriptProc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
        if (File.Exists(SourceFileName))
            {
            string command = "zip " + ZipFileName + " " + SourceFileName; // Building dos commands           
            System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo =  new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd", "/c " + command);
            scriptProc.StartInfo = procStartInfo;
            scriptProc.Start();
            int id = scriptProc.Id; //get process id
            start:
            System.Diagnostics.Process[] processlist = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("cmd");
            foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process theprocess in processlist) 
            {
                if (theprocess.Id == id) //check proc id is found or not
                {
                    goto start;
                }                
            }
            scriptProc.Close();
        }
    }
