    Yes you can,from your app start 7zG.exe with command line parameters,see 7z help,there are command line details.

    No you can't; at least not natively. You can start an external program to do it for you, as ionut_y has demonstrated, but if there is no third-party application installed that supports 7z then you're out of luck there. There may be a third-party DLL you can reference in your project, but .NET only supports GZIP natively. #ZipLib is also available for ZIP, GZIP, TAR and BZip2 formats.
