Hello

I'm need a class that simulates the exact functionalities of winzip.

I've found a number of classes to do so; however, when given a directory, they traverse this source directory and zip the files of every subfolder of this directory, rather than zipping it all.

I want a class that enables me to zip and unzip folders(Not their files) similar to the way winzip or winrar operates.

Thank you

Yes it's an excellent class, thank you.
However it can't zip an entire folder by it self. This class requires to select files that are to be zipped rather than folders.

So? Write the code for that... It's about 10 lines. Isn't it the job of the programmer to write code? ;-)

I dont think you understood what I meant here. I dont want to zip the content of an entire forlder. I want to be able to zip the folder itself.
The Method zip.AddFile() can only take files.
