[2008] Extracting Zip/RAR files

[spikeyredcactus]

Does anyone have any idea how to extract a Zip or RAR file.
A rar file might be a bit farfetched but as windows can open zip files i should imagine this is possible.
Any ideas?

I imagine you would need a custom dll library or ActiveX control to do it, it can certainly be done manually but it would take a considerable amount of work.

Thanks to the System.IO.Compression namespace developing compression / decompression components is a walk in the park with things like GZip. A Zip file is a little different but can be built using the Compression namespace.
