Hi all,

I have multiple folders and that folders having many files. I need to ZIP all the files ZIP name should be folder name accordingly with a password.

EX: 1. OUTPUT(Folder)/NO1/FILES_1(100 files) this should be ZIP as "FILES_1"
2. OUTPUT(Folder)/NO1/FILES_2(100 files) this should be ZIP as "FILES_2"
3. OUTPUT(Folder)/NO1/FILES_3(100 files) this should be ZIP as "FILES_3"

Thanks in ADVANCE!!!

What I have tried:

if (textBox2.Text == "")
           {
               MessageBox.Show("select folder to be Zip","Alert");
               return;
           }

           SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog2 = new SaveFileDialog();


           saveFileDialog2.Filter = "zip files (*.zip)|*.zip|rar files (*.rar)|*.rar";
           saveFileDialog2.FilterIndex = 2;

           saveFileDialog2.RestoreDirectory = true;

           if (saveFileDialog2.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
           {
               //Zip directory including all files
               string filename = textBox1.Text;
               try
               {

                   using (var zip = new ZipFile())
                   {
                       zip.AddDirectory(textBox2.Text,"");
                       zip.Save(saveFileDialog2.FileName.ToString());
                   }
                   MessageBox.Show("Files are Zipped Successfully!", "Alert");
               }
               catch (Exception ex)
               {
                   MessageBox.Show("Error during Zip operation!", "Alert");
               }
               clear();

I'm afraid that ZipFile class does not support a password functionality...

I know, but that appears to be the one that OP is using. And it seems to me that almost nobody actually looks at the documentation these days to check what features are available.

Sad, but true.

Seems, your problem is how to list all subdirectories...

Check this out: Directory.GetDirectories Method (System.IO) | Microsoft Docs[^]

C#

string inputFolder = @"C:\FullPathHere\NO1\";
string[] dirs = Directory.GetDirectories(inputFolder);
foreach(string dir in dirs)
{
        //get the name of file by passing folder name and extension
        string sFileName = $"{dir}.zip"
        //create zip file from directory
        ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(dir, sFileName);
}

In case, you want to create archive file with password, then you need to use class which supports password. See: c# - create zip file in .net with password - Stack Overflow[^]
