A couple weeks ago, a colleague and I were in need of a class that could handle compressing and extracting files. It had to handle "zip" and "jar" files and needed to interface with a .NET application. There were several COM components available, but we wanted a managed code solution. We searched through the web and there were a few example of developers "trying" to get it to work, but each example had a problem or two. Then we came across an article in MSDN Magazine: Using the Zip Classes in the J# Class Libraries to Compress Files and Data with C# . It was exactly what we were looking for and we implemented it very easily. So I decided to take an hour or so to create a simple application that uses the zip class.
