    Winzip has a utility for command line compression, but you have to buy the pro version. Our company uses a product called dynazip, that ships with .Net classes, also not free. WinRar is free, and as I recall supports command line commands. I don't beleive a compression class was built into the framework, so for a free solution check winrar first.

    Re: [RESOLVED] make .tar.gz files with .NET?

    I've made a CodeBank submission that wraps #ZipLib and makes it much friendlier to use, or at least I think so. There's a link in my signature if you're interested. Also note that .NET 2.0 does provide some compression support natively. I haven't investigated it fully so I'm not sure how extensive it is, but I have read that it has been designed to be extensible, so we should see some third-party extensions that provide support for more than just the initial BZip.
