vb.net and winzip

Hi,

does anyone know if it's possible to automate winzip with vb.net and anyone have any examples/resources?

Many thanks
Nick

If you looking for a zip class in .NET use SharpZipLib

i need to unzip stuff rather than zip it up.

you can unzip with it too.

Hi,

has anybody used this and managed to get it compiled?

I try following the instructions but i must just be being thick! When i try to run installGAC, which is supposed to register the dll in the GAC (i think!), it comes up with:

Failure adding assembly to the cache: Access is denied

Is this because i am not logged onto my PC as administrator?


Please help! I'm desperate!

Maybe thats the case, but you can add it as another project to your project and work with it, i guess.

You can use Free VB.net Resource Kit. It has readmade control in it for Zip files. You can create, update and extract it with simple commands in VB.net

you can find this resource kit at www.microsoft/vbasic

I used it. It it is good. and it is FREE

enjoy

Another solution . Use J# Classes to zip files with C# . Sounds weird but it shows the beautiful meaning of language interoperability .;) http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...n/default.aspx

won't that need the extra j# runtimes that are not included in the default framework?

I think so . It's about 12 mb and it's apart from the other framework (the one we use in .net lol)

bah thats what i though

that way it sucks

Hi all,

sorry to re-awaken a dead thread but i've finally got round to downloading the resource kit and i can't find anything on the free zip control?

Any idea any examples/where it is?

Thanks
Nick

doh,

i found it. It's one of the free controls from Component One.
This resource kit looks really good by the way. I recommend you all download it if you haven't yet.
