You Can Use these code For Using Zip Files in C#

private void zip(string[] args)

{

//Create an empty zip file

byte[] emptyzip = new byte[] { 80, 75, 5, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

FileStream fs = File.Create(args[1]);

fs.Write(emptyzip, 0, emptyzip.Length);

fs.Flush();

fs.Close();

fs = null;

//Copy a folder and its contents into the newly created zip file

Shell32.ShellClass sc = new Shell32.ShellClass();

// returns a Folder of args parameter

Shell32.Folder SrcFlder = sc.NameSpace(args[0]);

Shell32.Folder DestFlder = sc.NameSpace(args[1]);

Shell32.FolderItems items = SrcFlder.Items();

DestFlder.CopyHere(items, 0);

//Ziping a file using the Windows Shell API creates another thread where the zipping is executed.

//This means that it is possible that this console app would end before the zipping thread

//starts to execute which would cause the zip to never occur and you will end up with just

//an empty zip file. So wait a second and give the zipping thread time to get started

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

}

and then u call this method

string[] str = new string[2];

str[0] = zipFolderPath; //zipFolderPath where you want to attachment zip file is added

str[1] = _startUpPath + "\\" + "Attachment.zip"; //path contain zip file

zip(str); //call zip method.

Hello , You Can Use thes Code

FileStream sourceFile = File.OpenRead(@"C:\sample.xml");
FileStream destFile = File.Create(@"C:\sample.zip");

GZipStream compStream = new GZipStream(destFile, CompressionMode.Compress);

try
{
int theByte = sourceFile.ReadByte();
while (theByte != -1)
{
compStream.WriteByte((byte)theByte);
theByte = sourceFile.ReadByte();
}
}
finally
{
compStream.Dispose();
}

How to Zip/Unzip files using C#.NET

using System.IO.Compression;
using System.IO;
Example data to run ZipFile function:
sourceFile = @"D:\"
destinationFile = @"C:"
Private bool ZipFile(string sourceFile, string destinationFile)
{
using (FileStream oldFile = File.OpenRead(sourceFile)
using (FileStream newFile = File.Create(destinationFile)
using (GZipStream compression = new GZipStream(newFile, CompressionMode.Compress))
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int numberOfBytesRead = oldFile.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
while (numberOfBytesRead > 0)
{
compression.Write(buffer, 0, numberOfBytesRead);
numberOfBytesRead = oldFile.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
}
compression.Close();
}
}
Example data to run UnZipFile function :
sourceFile = @"C:\backup\standards.zip
destinationFile = @"C:\backup\standards.pdf"
Private bool UnZipFile(string sourceFile, string destinationFile)
{
using(FileStream compressFile = File.Open(sourceFile,FileMode.Open))
using (FileStream uncompressedFile = File.Create(destinationFile)
using (GZipStream compression = new GZipStream(compressFile,
CompressionMode.Decompress))
{
int data = compression.ReadByte();
while(data != -1)
{
uncompressedFile.WriteByte((byte) data);
data = compression.ReadByte();
}
compression.Close();
}
}
