[2005] simple method to UNRAR file

[lplover2k]

a simple method plz??? i was using the .ocx found on rarlabs website in vb6... i tried it on vb.net but the filename of the extracted returned does not seem to work well!!! when i use it to copy the extracted file from one place to another.. it says "illegal characters in path"

I don't know but if you don't want or can't use "Xceed Zip for .NET" , why don't you use winrar commandline !

i want something better than using shell and winrar commandline...something similar to the .ocx for vb6....

you can use the unrar.dll API calls, there's an example here of the API calls ... link to example
that contains a problem with someone's code & then how someone else resolved it.
with the unrar.OCX you don't seem to be able to declare it as new, so maybe you would need to use System.Reflection to do that.
