Hi
I've a requirement wherein I need to unzip a zipped folder programatically
in .net.
I've tried out System.IO.Compression namespace..but it writes the content into
bytes which I dont need..I need the files to unzipped to a new folder..

HOw can I acheive it..are there any third party dlls for it..any samples

Are you trying to open a zip file or a compressed folder. These are two
different things. If it's a zip file, then you can use a third-party zip
component to open the zip file and extract whatever is in there (file or
folder, it doesn't really matter). A good free one is the SharpZipLib over
at: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/

Hope this helps,

The Compression namespace can only handle single files compressed with
the "gzip" algorithm, which differs from the "zip" algorithm.
